I use "Resurrection Eggs" to illustrate and reinforce the Easter story with young children. "Resurrection Eggs" kits can be purchased at Christian book retailers, through Amazon, or you can make your own.
The kit contains plastic eggs filled with objects representing different parts of the Easter story, and a booklet containing the Biblical account of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection.
After children locate the hidden eggs, read the Biblical passages, opening each egg in story order. Children delight in discovering the objects and how they relate to the Easter message.
Follow up with a children's Easter song. We like Ho-Ho-Ho-Hosanna by Cedarmont Kids.
God's blessings to your and your family as you celebrate the resurrection of Jesus!
What tools or activities have you used to help little ones discover the true meaning of Easter?
