Empty Tombs (Easter baking activity for kids)

I think this may be the first time I've made empty tombs, and my children are all in their twenties now.   Sorry, girls!  You know how an idea can get tucked away in the back of your mind and get lost.



When I taught a 2nd grade Sunday School class many years ago, I remember one of the other teachers making these in the church kitchen with her class on Easter morning.  The process in uncomplicated; the results will be rustic, varied, and very tasty! 

Ingredients

1 tube crescent rolls
large marshmallows
cinnamon sugar

Directions

Separate the dough into 4 rectangles.  Place two marshmallows  on each rectangle toward one end.  Fold the dough over the marshmallows.  crimping the edges to seal.  (You could also used the jumbo canned biscuits, flattening it into a larger circle and wrapping the dough around a single marshmallow as pictured above.)  Sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar.  Bake at 375 for 11 - 13 minutes.  Allow to cool a few minutes before serving.  The marshmallows will melt inside the dough leaving an empty space.  A culinary way to remember the Easter story.
