We have seen, purchased, made and used the 12 resurrection Easter Eggs to tell the story of Easter, many, many times over the years. We LOVE it..................but.....it is our experience that even the older children tend to lose their attention span when going through the twelve eggs.
This year.....since I have toddler grandkids and since I teach the pre-schoolers............I found the Toddler Version on Pinterest. I LOVE IT........for ALL AGES. I liked it so well....after I adapted it to my needs..........that I made all of my preschoolers plus grandkids one.
Roger and I serve on the State Bi-Vocational Planning Council and it met Palm Sunday weekend, so I made each family a set to take back and use at their church.
It is VERY simple, but right to the point.
EGG #1 - Communion Cup (Represents the Lord's Last Supper)
EGG #2 - Cross (Represents Jesus died on the Cross)
EGG #3 - White Gauze (The cloth that Jesus was wrapped in.)
EGG #4 - Rock (The stone placed in front of the tomb.)
EGG #5 - Was EMPTY ( Jesus was not there.)
EGG #6 - Skittles (Cause I have kids with milk allergies.......This egg held the Sweet
Surprise of EASTER............JESUS is ALIVE!
All of my preschools plus my grandkids..........were able to tell me what each egg meant.
