An amazing craft that teaches the true meaning
of Easter. Give each person a Hostess "snowball" cupcake
(cupcakes upside down can work also). They place it on the
plate as the tomb.
|
1. Have a small paper plate (6") for each
person. |
|
2. I first had them smear the plate with a
little chocolate frosting (soil) |
|
3. Then sprinkled the "dirt" with green
tinted coconut (grass) |
Give each person a "snowball" cupcake.
Place it on the plate as
the tomb.
|
4. Take a spoon and make a hollow spot in the
snowball (Like the empty tomb) |
|
5. Place a small sign in the hole that states
"He is not here! He is Risen" |
|
6. Take a wafer cookie (Nilla
wafers work or 1/2 sandwich cookie) and set it over the hole. |
|
7. I let them finish decorating with tinted
marshmallow, sprinkles, gum drops, whatever I had available to
finish decorating around the tomb. (flowers) |
|
8. I would finish the scene with a large gum
drop or marshmallow rabbits punctured with a toothpick bearing a
small sign that announced: The Easter story. |
Once the creation was done, they were told they could eat their
creation...but only after they had shared with at least three adults
the story that they had learned that day. And that, of course was
the lesson of Easter that was discussed before and during the craft.
