We are constantly looking for ways to help our kids connect with God in creative and fun ways.
One of our favorite ways to celebrate Easter is with Resurrection Eggs. A set of resurrection eggs is basically a dozen plastic eggs, each with a small object inside that represents an element of Jesus' death and resurrection. You then open one egg every day, with the final egg on Easter. That egg, appropriately, is empty, reminding us that the tomb was empty on Easter!
While you can buy a set from a local a Christian book store, it is also pretty easy to make a set with items found around the house. (The kids will get more buy-in as well)
First, obtain an empty egg carton and fill it with 12 plastic eggs.
Then find each of the symbolic elements and put them in the eggs. (We numbered the eggs to make it easier to keep them ordered)
We also glued a label onto the top of the egg carton, indicating the object inside, the event that it symbolizes, and a Bible verse for it.
Since I couldn't find a printable, I thought I would share ours here. Feel free to print it, paste it on your resurrection eggs, and then share a comment telling us how you intend to use your resurrection eggs with your family!
