Edible Tombs for Easter Treats

03/29/10 | Easter

tomb

I found this great idea on Sugar Doodle too!

A great activity that teaches the true meaning of Easter. Give each person a Hostess “snowball” cupcake (cupcakes upside down can work also). A white snowball would be ideal, but all I could find is hot pink and purple. : ) Give each person a “snowball” cupcake. 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)

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 finished the scene with a large gum drop punctured with a toothpick bearing a small sign that announced: He Has Risen.

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.
