Easter Sheep

Easter Sheep

John 10:11-  I am the good shepherd:
the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

• 1 Pkg of VERY Large Marshmallows (for body)
• 1 Pkg. of Small Marshmallows (for feet)
• White Confetti Sprinkles (for eyes)
• 1 Egg Carton of Chocolate Marshmallow Eggs
• Toothpicks (break 1 in half to make 2 legs)
• Frosting (for glue)

Take all the chocolate marshmallow eggs out of the egg carton. Lay a large marshmallow down in each egg hole. Dab some frosting to the bottom of chocolate marshmallow egg and stick on top of large marshmallow body. Take 1 toothpick and break in half. Now stick a small marshmallow on the end of the toothpick. Stick in marshmallow body. Dot some frosting on the back of some white confetti eyes and stick to head. You can also use white frosting and just pipe eyes on if you want. I just found this easier to do.
The only time they have these marshmallow chocolate eggs is at Easter time. If you wanted you could still make these and use something else for a head such as a peppermint patty, miniature snickers candy bars, an Oreo or anything else the might resemble a sheep head.

Teach the kids that Jesus is the shepherd and we are the sheep. The scripture says that he gave his life for the sheep. He died for our sins and rose on the third day. He gave up his life so we could have life. This is why we celebrate Easter. Have fun with this easy, quick craft. We have an Easter Sheep Coloring Page that goes with this.

Behold I Send You Forth As Sheep Clipart

Behold I Send You Forth As Sheep Clipart

Matthew 10:16- Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves:

be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

You may be wondering why this sheep looks so funny. He has a sheep body with a snake tail and dove wings. I looked at this scripture and thought to myself that if we did what Jesus said to do in this scripture we might just confuse the wolves. Try it and see what happens. 

Garden With Tomb Craft

Garden With Tomb Craft 

• 2 Large Popsicle Sticks
• 1 Styrofoam bowl
• Grass from outside (or use store bought moss)
• Rocks from outside (or store bought)
• Brown Yarn
• Egg Shell -Brown or White
• Tape

Take your white Styrofoam bowl and fill it with the grass. Place and empty egg shell on top of the grass. Lay some rocks down and then make your wooden cross. Just take your 2 popsicle sticks and wrap the brown yarn around it to hold them together. Tie a knot in the back.  Stick it down in the grass and put a small piece of tape behind the cross and press into bowl. This is so your cross won't fall over. 

Use the craft to go along with our Easter Lesson.

Tomb With Linens Snack

Tomb With Linens Snack

Makes 24 Servings

John 20:5-  And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

John 20:6- Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

John 20:7- And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

• 6 Tablespoons   butter or magarine
• 8 cups   miniature marshmallows or 2 pkg. Regular Marshmallows
• 1 mini marshmallow - for Jesus linens
• 12 cups   Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal
• 1 Large Plastic Egg (for mold)-OR you can use small plastic eggs (we used a large plastic egg)

Make your rice krispies . Then stuff a plastic egg with the mix. Spray your hands with non-stick spray and then make a hole in the rice krispies. Add one mini marshmallow in the tomb for Jesus linens that he left behind after he rose from the dead. This has to be the easiest recipe I have ever made. I thought this was going to be a lot of work but it really wasn't. Make sure you pack these down in the eggs real good so they will hold it's shape. Stick in freezer to help speed the setting process up.

Make 1 tomb for each child and take for children's church or Sunday school.
Teach the kids about the resurrection of Jesus for Easter.
This will be a hit!

Easter Rice Krispy Tomb Cake

Easter Rice Krispy

Tomb Cake

Makes 24 Servings

• 6 tablespoons   butter or margarine

• 8 cups   miniature marshmallows-  OR-   2 pkg. Regular marshmallows
• 12 cups   Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal
• Coconut
• Green Food Coloring
• Chocolate Rocks (from walmart)
• Jesus Template (printable version)
• Toothpicks
• Tape
• Scissors
• 1 Large Plastic Egg (for mold)

Directions:

Melt your butter on the stove on low heat.
Add your marshmallows to it.
Stir until all melted.
Add your rice krispies.

Take a large plastic egg and stuff the mix in both eggs.
Spray your hands with non-stick cooking spray.
Form a hole in center of eggs by pushing your thumbs in it.

Let mix set in egg while you make the rest of the cake.
Put eggs in freezer to set up while you finish the cake.

Spoon the rest of your rice krispy mix into a large glass pan.
Dye some coconut green for green grass. Add on top of rice krispies.
Sprinkle some chocolate rocks on top. (I got those from walmart)
Print off our Jesus template and cut it out.
Tape to a toothpick and stick down in cake.
Grab your eggs out of the freezer now.
Put the tomb egg on top of the green grass. To make the door just flatten the other egg tomb out with your hand. Use the top of a lid jar and press down in rice krispy. This will make a nice little round door.
Lay the tomb stone door next to the tomb. I noticed that I had to put the tomb and little door back in the freezer for a couple of minutes so it could set up really good. If they are not all the way cool they will start to flop over. Sticking them in the freezer sets them up pretty good. Take this to a church function or make this for the kids at church to go with a Easter Lesson.  If you wanted you could just make the kids a bunch of tomb eggs by using small plastic eggs. Instead of making the whole cake just make the little tombs for the kids. If you wanted you could even leave them in the eggs if you wanted and hand them out to the kids. Either way they will love them, and they taste great too!

We have a cute little toilet paper roll to go along with the Darkness plague lesson.  Just pick out if you want colored or black and white and then print it out. Have the kids make these in children's church. Cut out the pieces and glue or tape on to the roll. This make great crafts for the kids to take home from church.

If you don't want to use toilet paper rolls then you can always buy cardboard tubes instead. Those would be nice and sanitary for you. If you are doing a craft at home with your kids then you can always just use the one out of your bathroom :)
