You'll love this easy, Easter-time tradition!
Colorful "Resurrection Eggs" teach about Christ's death, burial and resurrection.
Here's a fun way to teach your kids valuable truths about Easter. This "new tradition" is built upon a simple array of easy-to-locate materials - colorful plastic Easter eggs, a cardboard or Styrofoam egg container, and miscellaneous household items like toothpicks and a small piece of cloth.
Sure, you can purchase (http://www.familylife.com/fl_today/currentmonth_rad.htm) a pre-made version of this Easter "kit," but making it yourself is a wonderful family time activity, too! This craft is so easy and inexpensive that parents usually wonder why it took them so long to discover and introduce this faith-affirming tradition for the Easter holiday. Whether you buy or build your tray of twelve Resurrection Eggs, be sure to watch your child's face as he/she opens each plastic egg, discovers the hidden surprise and reads about its symbolic relationship to Easter.
