On day 2, the kids find the egg that was buried to be "unearthed and empty" How does this happen on a plastic egg and paper? Is the parent actually the one to make this happen? or am I missing something? Thanks, and again I apologize.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358965.post-12442865736543838172012-06-01T01:27:16.029-05:002012-06-01T01:27:16.029-05:00Thanks a lot for sharing such a nice information. ...Thanks a lot for sharing such a nice information.

It's been simple and fun to focus on what Easter really means.<br /><br />I did make a few substitutes...mostly because I couldn't find some things I wanted to. Also because I'm in Scotland, I could only find tiny plastic eggs and not much fits inside.<br /><br />I wrapped a box in princess paper, and each day Princess got to open it and look inside to see what treasure there would be. The real treasure is God's word!<br /><br />So if anyone's interested...Also<br /><br />For the play dough spelling Jesus name, I found some play dough letter stamps to stamp out the name of Jesus.<br /><br />For Jesus calming the storm, we made a boat out of paper towel roll and an oatmeal box and then decorated it and made sails from construction paper.<br /><br />For the crown and soap, we made our crowns out of cereal boxes and decorated them.<br /><br />On Day 2 Jesus died for us we made a cross sucker from jolly rancher candies....found here<br /><br />http://catholicicing.com/2012/03/make-your-own-candy-cross-pops/<br /><br />We had the heat to high or 5 minutes was too long to leave it and it turned into a big blob, but the stick still went in and it tasted superbly yummy!Renea Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702050783697452687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358965.post-19746823765307865002012-04-03T11:23:51.493-05:002012-04-03T11:23:51.493-05:00This is just awesome.

I make my own for my kids at church here is what I put in mine <br />1) small piece of soap - read story about how Jesus washed the disciples feet<br />2) praying hands - we read about how Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsemane<br />3) coins - we talk about how Judas betrayed Jesus<br />4) an army solider - we talk about how the solders came and arrested Jesus<br />5) purple fabric - we talk about the purple robe they put on Jesus and called him names. I ask them how that would have made Jesus feel and use this as a lesson about how we need to use nice words<br />6) a piece of leather - we talk about how they whipped Jesus and put a crown of thorns on his head. I usually ask them if they have ever been hit & how that made them feel & ask them how they think it madeJesus feel<br />7) cross - we talk about how jesus died on the cross for our sins and how they put nails in his hands & feet<br />8) dice - we talk about how the solders gambled for Jesus clothes<br />9) white fabric - we talk about how they wrapped Jesus body in linen after they took him off the cross<br />10) Rock - talk about how they put a stone in front of the tomb & Jesus was in there for 3 days<br />11) Empy eggt - we talk about how the women came to put perfume on his body but the tomb was empty<br />12) Cotton ball - this is to represent the clouds when Jesus ascended into heaven<br /><br />Some other things you could use are<br />* toy donkey - triumphant entry<br />* toy cup - last supper<br />* nail - the nails in Jesus hands & feetAngienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358965.post-83334863238355315292012-03-26T15:46:49.904-05:002012-03-26T15:46:49.904-05:00I too found this on pinterest. :) my kid is older ...I too found this on pinterest. :) my kid is older but I still think this will work.
