Resurrection Eggs – Share the Love of Jesus Christ with Children.

What a terrific way to share the Easter story of Jesus’s resurrection with your children.

Little Ryan has learned the entire Easter story with the help of Resurrection Eggs.

Watch this video:

You can easily make Resurrection Eggs at home.

Here’s how:
Purchase 12 small plastic Easter eggs from Wal-Mart or the Family Dollar. Make sure they will fit inside of a regular egg carton. Number them 1 through 12.

Use a left over egg carton. If you still have eggs inside the carton – just put them into a large bowl for safe keeping.

Place the item listed below into each egg. You can also put the scripture reference – or you can tell the story from memory.

Once all the eggs are filled – you can begin telling the story.

BRIGHT IDEA:

Without telling your children what you’re about to do, make a list of the items needed and send the kids on a scavenger hunt to find the items.

Imagine their surprise when they realize these items can help tell the story of Salvation!

Matthew 28:16-20( The Great Commission )

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁶Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

¹⁷And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

¹⁸And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

¹⁹Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

²⁰Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
