Empty tombs

Today we made empty tombs as we continued to learn all about Easter. 

I took heavy paper plates and cut them in half. Then I glued the the two halves

   together with tacky glue. It's best to do this the night before so they are

dry when the kids paint them. I also cut out stone shapes. Next

 I cut a small opening out of one of the plates and I taped a piece of black paper behind it. 

 A  hole punched  next to the cut out tomb opening will be to attach the stone

 to the tomb with a brad.  I don't add the stone until after

 the kids have painted the tombs and they have dried. I let the kids
paint their tombs. For an easier craft you can have them color the tombs.
While the kids paint their tombs we retell the Easter story together. After the tombs
 are dry we add the stone and foam flowers. I closed the tomb and
 let the kids "roll the rock away" and add a "Christ has risen" sticker.
