Today I’m sharing some fun Easter traditions to help you celebrate this special holiday with loved ones.
When my children were growing up we tried to focus our Easter Sunday on Christ and the resurrection. We gave them their baskets and had them hunt for eggs on Saturday morning, the day before. It really helped them understand the difference between the fun tradition of the Easter bunny and true reason we celebrate Easter – Christ’s resurrection.
Resurrection Eggs
One of our Easter traditions is to make Resurrection Eggs. The story of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection is divided among a dozen eggs. Each egg has an object inside that helps show the story. You can get all the details and the free printable here.
Fingerprint Eggs
These darling eggs capture your little one’s fingerprints and turn them into an adorable spring scene! Details on how to do them (and several other egg coloring techniques) can be found at Sunny by Design!
Family Coloring Contest
Every year this extended family participates in a huge coloring contest! Grandmas and grandpas, cousins and uncles, everyone submits their entry for judging and all the masterpieces are hung up at Aunt Ronda’s! You have to check out the details at Kenarry!
