this awesome idea!

THE EASTER STORY IN EGGS 

So you're looking for a fun way to teach the Easter story to kids? Or you need a simple way to make Christ the focus of your Easter celebrations? 

I've got you covered. 

What are Resurrection eggs?

These fun Resurrection eggs diy is a simple way to teach children all about Christ and His resurrection! 

Each Easter egg has a symbol that talks about party of the Easter story.

RESURRECTION EGGS TO TEACH THE EASTER STORY 

This fun Easter story for kids uses 12 different parts of the Easter story and combines them into a fun and interactive way that children can learn what Easter is really about.

The 12 Eggs of Easter will walk you and your family through the important events of Christ's last week on Earth.

Each egg contains an object that represents a part of the Easter story. For example: 30 cents to represent the 30 pieces of silver that Judas used to betray Christ.  

HOW THIS CHRIST-CENTERED EASTER EGG HUNT WORKS: 

There are 3 ways to do this Easter Story activity. 

1. Hide all the eggs. Have family members find the eggs and then gather back together to open the eggs and talk about the Easter story.
2. Have all the eggs in a basket and take turns opening the egg and reading the scripture verses that talks about the symbol in each egg.
3. Similar to a 12 Days of Christmas, you could do a 12 Eggs of Easter, where you open one egg each day on the 12 days before Easter.

Choose whichever way will work best for your family!

HOW MUCH TIME DOES IT TAKE TO DO THIS EASTER STORY FOR KIDS?  

I would recommend setting aside about 30 minutes for this Easter activity. Obviously, you might want or more time for the egg hunt and discussion depending on the age of the children who are participating.
