I can take absolutely no credit for this idea. Thank you Ellen - she posted this idea on facebook I believe. It should also be noted that she used crescent rolls. They would probably be less dry. And I used the idea, Easter Sunday morning to bring our focus back to Jesus and his resurrection. It is super simple and the boys had so much fun. So here is how it works.
One package of grands biscuits. It should be noted that Andrew thought it was great that ours exploded when we opened it. I guess I had had those biscuits awhile. You also need 8 marshmallows, melted butter and cinnamon and sugar ( i used a ratio of 1Tablespoon of sugar to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon). We then talked about how the the woman had washed Jesus feet with special perfume(the butter).
And that it was the custom of the time to put spices on a persons body when he died (cinnamon and sugar).
And that Jesus was buried in the tomb for three days (We pulled the biscuit apart and then had the boys seal the marshmallow in the biscuit). Then we baked at 400 for about 15 minutes. During which we read the Easter story from Andrew's children's Bible.
And the result was...
...an empty center. He is risen. He is not here. And it was good eats. They were so excited they called and invited Abuela over to eat them with them.
The boys also enjoyed a very low key Easter egg hunt which involved the eggs that they had colored with daddy earlier that week. I have no photo evidence of this adventure.
