Resurrection Cookies

I woke up this morning and realized that I had completely forgotten to make resurrection cookies with the boys last night.  We won’t be able to do it tonight, either, because we will be hanging out at a friend’s house.  That’s okay, though.  We’ll just make them 2 days late.  It doesn’t change the fact that our Redeemer is alive and we have much to celebrate.

The kids and I have really enjoyed making these for the past 2 years and I thought I’d share the idea with all of you.  It’s so great for kids who are tactile learners because they are able to taste salt, which represents the tears of Jesus, smell or (if they’re brave enough) taste vinegar, which reminds us of the vinegar they gave Jesus as He hung on the cross, and taste the sugar, which represents the sweetness of Jesus’ love for us.  I seriously think I enjoy this activity just as much as the kids do.  Follow this link, and try it with your family.  Who cares if it’s a couple of days late!
