Resurrection Eggs Preschool Style

I have linked to this idea several times in past posts, but after putting them together in minutes today, I decided to share more details here. I'm just in love with this idea!

Thank you, Stacie Nelson @ Motherhood on a Dime, for this excellent (and easy!) way to teach our littles about Easter!

What you'll need:

• 6 large plastic eggs
• Letter stickers
• Heart sticker
• Band-aid
• Paper cross
• Tomb made of play-doh or clay
• Rock

1. Take your large eggs and spell out "Easter" putting one sticker on each egg.

2. Put the heart sticker in the first letter E egg.

"E is for Each of us. God loves everyone."

3. Put the band-aid in the A egg.

"A is for A broken world, so He sent His Son."

4. Put the paper cross (or in our case, the cross that Marie made at MOPS) in the S egg.

"S is for our Sins that Jesus took away."

5. Put the tomb in the T egg.

"T is for the Tomb where He lay for 3 whole days."

6. Put the rock in the second E egg.

"E is for the Empty tomb. The stone was rolled away."

7. Leave the R egg empty.

"R is for the Risen Lord. Jesus is alive today!"

The poem written by Stacie Nelson:

E is for Each of us. God loves everyone.
A is for A broken world, so He sent His Son.
S is for our Sins that Jesus took away.
T is for the Tomb where He lay for three whole days.
E is for the Empty tomb. The stone was rolled away.
R is for the Risen Lord. Jesus is alive today!

I laminated mine in hopes that it'll last until we no longer have preschool age around.

... that is a very sad thought!

It's not too late to put these together and add some meaning to your traditional egg hunt!
