I spend a lot of time with Karlie, my delightful, four-year-old granddaughter. She loves when we do crafts together, so I thought I would share a recent craft. Last weekend she wanted to paint, so we cut out Easter egg shapes out of heavy watercolor paper. Then we used watercolors and watercolor markers and decorated them. We added buttons and little 3D flower stickers to them when we were finished coloring. I glued a folded ribbon on the back of each one and they are ready to hang. You can cut forsythia branches (or any branches you can find!) and put them in water. They will bloom indoors and make a perfect tree to hang your decorations. Have fun!

Blessings,
Susan

Here is a recipe for Empty Tomb Rolls to make with your children as you share the Easter story. 1 (10 ounce) package jumbo refrigerated crescent rolls 1/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 1/4 cup butter, melted 8 large marshmallows
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare muffin pan (preferably jumbo muffin pan) with non-stick cooking stray.
Separate rolls into eight triangles and set aside. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Dip each marshmallow into butter, then roll in cinnamon-sugar and place on a triangle dough. Pinch dough around marshmallow, sealing all edges. Make sure to seal well or all the marshmallow will escape.
Dip tops of dough into the remaining butter and then into the cinnamon-sugar. Place roll with the sugar side up into prepared muffin cups.
Bake at 375 degrees for 13 – 15 minutes. Eat warm.
The marshmallow represents Jesus. After Jesus died on the cross he was wrapped in linen— roll in butter and cinnamon. Jesus was put into the tomb — place on crescent roll dough and seal edges. On the third day Jesus has risen, no longer in the tomb — open baked roll to find no marshmallow.
