I have a of pictures to share from our weekend and then from Jacob's school play tonight but first . . . a family activity from this afternoon. I've been looking for something to help my preschoolers grasp the Easter Story. It's such a hard concept to understand anyway . . . Jesus died then He's alive!! I wanted something tangible and even better when it's tasty! So here's what we did afterschool to sort of test it before trying with my preschoolers tomorrow.
and this is all you need...well some butter, cinnamon & sugar would make it even tastier!
Press each breadstick or cresent roll into a circle
Plop a marshmellow inside.
Toss in a bag with cinnamon & sugar. Place on a pan.
We "sealed" the oven to represent sealing the tomb. The boys did enjoy "playing" with tape.
and here you have it ~ "empty biscuits"
This one came out of the oven just like this and I think it looks like the stone has been rolled away.
