"Beautiful Rescuer" -- by David Walker (thanks, Donna H.!)
Symbolic "Sweets"
1. Easter Story Cookies: I have loved going through the process of making these cookies with my kids (and nieces and nephews), as each step has something meaningful attached. The actual cookies themselves were less than impressive, though. :) (Maybe we did it wrong? Meringue is a tricky thing!)
2. Resurrection Rolls: These are easy, tasty, and have a nice "wow" factor for kids!
3. Empty Tomb Cake: This could be made in a variety of ways, of course. It's nice to see an Easter dessert that's not all about bunnies and chicks once in awhile!
Afternoon Activities
If you want to give the kids something to do while you're preparing dinner (or resting after preparing dinner!), here are a few ideas:
1. Egg hunt: If you haven't already done a neighborhood egg hunt, now might be a good time for whoever is around. Using "Resurrection Eggs" makes it especially meaningful and useful for teaching.
2. Lego activity: Tell the kids to make something like this!
3. Coloring pages: There are some good ones on this site.
