Cooking Idea: Crown of Thorns recipe
Posted by member Karen N.

I found this project on a homeschool site and thought it might adapt well to rotation. The size of the crown this recipe makes is at least life-size, so I'm sure the amount needed for an individual child would be much less. I also wonder if the actual crown could be made during class then taken home to bake... that would make it more adaptable to a church setting, too.

Crown of Thorns recipe:

  • 4 cups of flour/ 1 cup of salt.
  • Mix enough water to make a stiff dough-clay.
  • Roll 3 long ropes, loosely braid them.
  • Form braid into a circle and stick toothpicks (which represents the thorns) loosely in it throughout the entire crown.
  • Bake at 350 for an hour or until it is dry and light brown.
  1. For each sacrifice that a child (or adult) makes/does he takes out a "thorn."
  2. This is a good time to explain to the child that sin brings additional pain on Jesus' suffering and good works can comfort Him and show our love for Him.
  3. The goal should be to remove all "thorns" from the crown by Easter.
  4. Once the thorns are removed, glue brightly colored beads where the thorns once were and if you'd like paint the crown.
  5. This makes a beautiful Easter Sunday center piece with a great story to share with your guests.
