“The Empty Tomb”
Paper Plate Craft
1. Cut a paper plate in half.
2. Cut a half circle out of the bottom of one of the paper plate halves.
3. Staple the two halves together.
4. On the inside, behind the cutout half circle, write the words, “Christ is Risen!”
5. You can use markers or crayons to color the outside of “the tomb” or glue pieces of a brown paper bag to the surface, making it look rock.
6. Crumple more of the brown paper bag into a rounded shape, so it resembles a boulder. (You can stuff it with more paper if needed and tape it closed on the bottom.) Place the “boulder” in front of the opening of the tomb.
7. Tell the story of the myrrh-bearing women visiting the tomb. Move the boulder to reveal that “Christ is Risen!”
