Resurrection Eggs

It was really important for us that Cannon learn the true meaning of Easter. We have several books we have been reading and we took it a step further with a a few actitivities over the last few days.

I started searching a few weeks ago for Easter ideas and I found the idea to do resurrection eggs. So last week we invited a few friends over and the Moms made the eggs while the kids played.

Cannon and I read the scripture and talked about the eggs on Friday and Saturday.


Here are our eggs. (We chose to only do six eggs...better for little attention spans).

This rope represents that fact that Jesus was arrested and beaten.

The cross that Jesus was forced to carry and then...
nails that were placed in his hands and feet to hold him on the cross.
Three days later, the stone was rolled away...
and the tomb was EMPTY!
He is Risen! He is alive and I'm forgiven. Heavens gates are open wide. He's Alive! He's Alive!
Cannon can actually tell you what each symbol stands for too. Precious.
