"Easter Activities for Grandparents and Grandchildren"

"Easter Activities for Grandparents and Grandchildren Include Resurrection Easter Eggs"," I started this sweet tradition with my children and now my grandkids are enjoying them with me each year. These 12 eggs each have a tiny trinket that is a symbol of one part of the Lent and Easter story. Different sets have different items, but our current set has: A donkey to remind us of Jesus' ride into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday A goblet. This is often made by crossing two nails Dice which the servants used to gamble for His robe A spear. Since He was, indeed, dead, they did not have to break His legs which fulfilled the prophesy that no legs would be broken A white square of material to represent the grave sheets they wrapped Jesus in A rock that reminds us of the stone that was rolled in front of the grave One egg is left empty because - JESUS IS ALIVE This is a fun set to purchase and share with children and grandchildren. Then you'll add yet another dimension to the learning process, helping them to cement the important facts deeper into their minds and hearts. It's not ""picture-perfect,"" but it is quite cute. And oh, my grandson and I now have such sweet family memories of making it together, plus it led to some great talk time about different aspects of God's wonderful gift to us.
