Description

Celebrate the true meaning of Easter by making this 3-D craft, showing the cross of Christ on a hill.

First, fold a paper plate in half and then cut along the inside circle only half way.  Unfold the plate, and then you can lift up the cut-out notch and fold it up to look like a hill.

Have children cut up small squares of green paper (or cut them beforehand, for younger children).  Also cut two strips of brown paper to make the cross.

Children can color the "hill" with a green marker, crayon or paint and then glue green "grassy" pieces at the base of the hill. 

Lastly, children can glue and assemble their cross and glue it to the pop-up hill.  Add a scripture verse about Easter, and/or the words "Jesus died for sin".
