For believers, Easter is a special time to remember and reflect on the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter is a two-fold, epic story - Jesus bore our sins and paid the ultimate price for them, then proved He is the Son of God by defeating the grave.
While traditional Easter activities like egg hunts and chocolate eggs are fun, they can sometimes overshadow the true meaning of the season. As Christian parents, it’s important to find ways to share the Easter story with children in a way they can understand and remember.
I have always loved object lessons because they capture attention and make concepts easier to understand. They are not only engaging and fun, but they also help lessons truly stick. Resurrection Eggs are a perfect object lesson to bring the story of Easter to life.
Resurrection Eggs are a fun and creative way to teach kids about Jesus’ journey to the cross, His death, burial and His resurrection. The concept is simple: a set of 12 plastic eggs, each containing a small object or symbol that represents a part of the Easter story. These objects act as tangible reminders, helping little ones grasp abstract concepts like sacrifice, forgiveness, and resurrection in a way they can relate to.
Why Use Resurrection Eggs?
I am all for organic interactions. What do I mean about that?
Children learn best when all their senses are activated. When children are able to see, touch, and engage with biblical lessons, they can grasp them more easily and retain what they’ve learned. Our two-year-olds love when I do the story of Easter with them using Resurrection Eggs.
I love that Resurrection Eggs make the Easter story come to life. Kids love visual and interactive toys they can play with alongside you. These Easter eggs spark curiosity and encourage questions, which often leads to deeper understanding and meaningful conversations about faith.
I believe in naturally weaving the gospel and biblical values into children’s everyday lives. The goal is to demonstrate an authentic, organic relationship with Jesus Christ, not rules and checklists. These eggs are a great way to teach the story of the resurrection that your kids will always remember.
How to Use Resurrection Eggs
1. Gather around the dining table with your kids and have a special treat if you like (gummy bears, or cookies) and start by passing out the stickers in the kit.
2. Next read the Bible verses, or if your kids are able to read, have them take turns reading the scripture verses outloud.
3. Begin reading the storybook as you and your kids open the eggs one by one, revealing what symbol of Christ’s resurrection is in each egg.
4. After all the eggs have been opened, talk about the significance of the Easter story, and how God loves your children.
Benefits of Using Resurrection Eggs
