Resurrection Eggs

Today's Easter activity? Resurrection eggs! I found out about this from the Christian Preschool website. It's such a cute idea and Oliver loved hiding and hunting for the eggs, as well as opening them and learning about what was inside.

To do this yourself, start with 12 empty plastic eggs and number each egg from 1 to 12. Then put a piece of paper representing one part of the resurrection story into each egg (I printed and cut out the drawings on this page). Then hide the eggs, let your children find them and open them, and explain what the pictures mean in order.















I hid the eggs in the living room and Oliver and Buttercup had a lot of fun looking for them! Oliver was a lot better at finding hidden eggs than last year. :-)

































Then the kids and I sat at the table to open the eggs and talk about the resurrection story again. Well, let me correct myself -- Oliver and I opened the eggs . . .















. . . while Buttercup ate her second breakfast and smeared peanut butter all over her face.

































Oliver had so much fun this morning that he asked if we could do it again this afternoon! I think we'll have to include Resurrection Eggs in our annual Easter celebration. :-)
