Resurrection Eggs

Today's Scripture:  Jesus Enters Jerusalem--Matthew 21:1-11

Each day we start by reading the scripture from the resurrection story.  If you have younger kids, you might rather use a Bible Story Book and just read a page or two from the stories of the resurrection. After we read the scripture, we have craft/project time! I am going to show you what I'm doing with my kids, but at the end I will also give suggestions of things you could do with younger kids! I've done this for several years now, so we have done several different things! There are also TONS of cute Easter craft ideas on Pinterest. For really young kids or super busy nights, coloring sheets always work really well too! You can google Easter color sheets and get more options than you could ever use! 

Resurrection Eggs are an awesome way to go over the story of the crucifixion and resurrection. There are different ways to create these eggs. You take 12 plastic eggs and put a number on each of them. Then, you find little items around the house to represent each event. I have attached a list of items that are suggested for each scripture. I also created these little egg pictures with the scripture on each. I printed these on card stock and cut them out (picture below). In the past, I made the resurrection eggs and we just went through and read the scriptures and looked at the item. (This works great for young kids!) This year, I actually let my kids find the items and create the resurrection eggs themselves!! You can put the finished eggs in an old egg carton and decorate the top of it or you can place the numbered eggs in a basket to display!

For younger kids, I found this!! I am going to use this for Lila when she gets older!!
