Are you looking for a creative way to help your little ones understand the significance of Easter? Resurrection eggs are a simple and fun way to tell the Easter story and celebrate Jesus’s resurrection. Each eggs contains a different part of the story. The last egg is empty symbolizing the resurrection!

The resurrection eggs were my favorite part of Easter last year. Because it was such a meaningful time where we were focusing on Christ as a family. My oldest daughter asked really important questions and it was a great way to share about Christ’s love for us.

One thing that really worked well was setting aside a special time for this activity. We did the resurrection eggs the day before Easter when we didn’t have anything else planned. I was so thankful we did. Because the time didn’t feel rushed and just added to the joy of sharing the Easter story together.

I also found it really helpful to use a children’s Bible to help go along with searching for the eggs. We used the Jesus Storybook Bible which worked really well. This way you have pictures to also help tell the story, which I think is really helpful for younger children.

The last egg is the empty one. So it is a pretty big deal! It’s fun to have a way to celebrate this either with candy or a meal or some way to help them understand the really good news! He is risen!

Another step worth mentioning is to pray for your time before you start. Ask God to quiet your heart and speak to your children. Then again at the end thanking Him for this incredible gift!
