Easter is Almost Here . . . Countdown

Easter is Here Almost ~ Lifeofjoy.meWe never did anything very big for our children for Easter. I got them Easter outfits and gave them Easter baskets with minimal candy but that was about it. Then when Tiffany was young, I saw a cute book called Benjamin’s Box which told the Easter story. It had a ‘carton’ of eggs that went with it with a little reminder of a part of the story.

You can make your own Resurrection Eggs, as they were called. Several people have put together their own version. Here’s a link to one, or here’s one, and here’s another, all these are pretty similar. These can be done over the twelve days prior to Easter. If you are going to do that this year, you better get hopping because you’re already a day behind. But you could choose to do something like this one and tell the story all in one day. I don’t think it will leave as strong an impact for ALL the individual parts but more for the overall story.

Then there are links that I should have found before Lent. These would be really good to keep remembering and preparing properly for Easter/Resurrection Sunday. This one has free printables for several holidays. For Easter it has 30 names of Jesus, with scriptures which looks really cool and could be done beginning with Easter, instead of ending with Easter (since it is nearly Easter this year). When you click to download the Holidays printables, you will be prompted to give your email address where you will be sent the link to the download; you can always unsubscribe later.

Here are two other countdowns that begin with Lent. Print it now for next year. ;) The first one is some words of Jesus every day. This one is just a group of different readings and such each day.

And finally, this one has several ideas on activities and object lessons. Oh! I nearly forgot. I shared a couple of easy, last minute ideas on this post from last year.

I hope these links will give you some ideas to make this holiday special for you and your children.

Until next time, God bless,
Michele ºÜº
