I believe it is important to keep Easter about Christ and about Jesus dying on the cross, but I also think it is helpful for children to do activities to learn more about Christ and Easter.
I have a few books & learning tools I thought I would share.
The first item I would like share is "Passion Hymns for a Kids Heart" by Bobbie Wolgemuth and Joni Eareckson Tada. This book and CD set is just wonderful. All of our children just love it. Our three year old goes around the house singing "He Arose". This is a great tool for any family to have. I highly recommened this for any family preparing for Easter. All the hymns are perfect for the Easter season.
Next is:
The First Easter by Carol Heyer
The Very First Easter by Paul L. Maier
Finally I will share something we just got this year to try....
Resurrection Eggs by Family Life - We are getting excited to try these out. I have heard positive things.
The book that you can get to go with the Resurrection eggs is "The Story of the Resurrection Eggs Benjamin's Box" by Melody Carlson. I ordered this book along with the Resurrection Eggs. It looks great.
I hope to post in the next few weeks some activities you can do with your children during the Easter season.
