Meaningful Easter Activity for Kids – Empty Tomb Snack

I wanted to make a cute and religious Easter treat for my kids, but as most of ya’ll know, I’m not much of a cook. Well, here’s an idea for a sweet Easter treat that is no bake plus your kids can assemble them as a religious Easter activity!

Ingredients Needed for Empty Tomb Treats:
  • Graham Crackers
  • Peanut Butter (or icing if you have an alergy)
  • Small Chocolate Doughnuts
  • Mini Oreo Cookies
  • Shredded Coconut
  • Green Food Coloring

Prep the Snack:

Before you grab the kids for this Christian Easter activity, you might want to prep a few things. Take your shredded coconut and place it in a sandwich baggie. Drip a few drops of green food coloring in, and shake the bag until your coconut turns green. Also, cut off the bottom of your chocolate doughnuts.

Now you’re ready for the fun to begin! Have your kids spread peanut butter on the graham cracker, and stick their doughnut “tomb” on. Then, take one mini oreo and twist it apart. Use the side with the icing on it to stick it to the front of the doughnut as the “rock” rolled away from the entrance of the tomb. Sprinkle some coconut “grass” onto the remainder of the peanut butter.

 

We also made some Easter banners from the leftover Stations of the Cross stickers we got at the Dollar Tree.
These we so easy to make, and came out cuter than I thought they would! Enjoy these Resurrection treats on Easter!

    Thank you for this idea. My class had a blast making this meaningful easter treat. Everybody is asking if they can make a second empty tomb. I used your suggested green icing since some of the kids are allergic to peanuts. It looks as cute as the one with coconuts. Parents waiting outside can’t wait to ask what the project is all about. I gave their kids a little spiel :)
    Thanks again for sharing your ideas. May God continue to shower you with creativity. Cheers!

    I did these in the past with my Pre K/K class, but then we had to find a healthier choice for snacktime in the mornings.
    I now use a quarter of a bagel, a vanilla wafer, and cream cheese to dip in on a plate.
    Same concept, just a little less sugar!

    I love your site! You’ve inspired me to begin crafting with the kids again. I had mommy burnout big time this winter. Glad to have some simple and fun ideas and begin enjoying making things with the kids again.

    SUPER cute! I wish I had seen these earlier. I am going to pin these for next year :)

    I made these (with my husband’s help) for my son’s third grade Easter party. All the teachers and moms kept saying how creative I was. I told them about your website….AGAIN. When will they start listening to me? ;)

    I used this snack for the preschool FF classes this past Sunday. As the children made their snacks, they were able to tell us what each of the items represented – donut (tomb) oreo (stone that rolled away) – and that Jesus had been in the tomb and then He rose from the dead. Great idea and I love your blog, full of wonderful ideas.
