Donut Easter Tomb
Grab some donuts and donut holes and wa-la! You have a garden tomb ready for multitudes! Here are a few shared online:
Angel Food Cake as Garden Tomb
I made this angel food cake tomb that turned out pretty great! I just used a store-bought box and cut it in half to make it a tomb. We added jam inside and used a sugar cookie as the door. My daughter helped me decorate it with shredded coconut (that we dyed green to make it like grass), crumbs of the extra cake, graham cracker trail, and we added a bit of crushed oreos for dirt. We just kind of threw it together and I loved how it came together and that we made it as a family! It doesn’t have to be angel food cake (I liked the pun), but if you do use it, take note that it is delicate and it wanted to slump over after an hour or so.
Visit a Cemetery
I think this is a wonderful place to discuss the future resurrection. Cemeteries don’t always have to be sad and poignant, take your family and spread some Easter cheer! They can “hide” Resurrection plastic eggs with little scripture verses inside for others to find when they visit their deceased loved ones. You could use plastic eggs to write sweet words over the outside to uplift and encourage others. Teach your children to respect cemeteries early on.
