Resurrection Eggs

The Littles arrived home a few days ago to find Easter decorations scattered across the kitchen table.  Of all the eggs, bunnies, baskets, and pastel what-nots, each of them went straight to our collection of Resurrection Eggs. Since the Littles were very young we’ve used this craft to help tell the Easter story.  We have a store bought and home-made versions in our collection.


If you’d like to make one at home with your Little(s), here’s what you’ll need:

1 egg carton

12 plastic eggs

Minature symbols (either purchased or drawn):

donkey

silver coins

mini cup and plate

prayer hands

leather whip

crown of thorns

nails

dice

soldier’s spear

piece of linen cloth

stone

Here are a few of our story telling symbols.  We also have plenty of hand drawn pictures too (especially to replace these tiny little objects that are either long gone or permanently hiding in the couch).

Egg #1

Place the donkey

Read: Matthew 21:1 – 9

Egg #2

Place the silver coins

Read: Matthew 26:14 – 16, 46 – 50; 27:1 – 5

Egg #3

Place the cup and plate

Read: Matthew 26: 17 – 19, 26 – 28: Exodus 12:23

Egg #4

Place the praying hands

Read Mark 14: 32 – 42

Egg #5

Place the leather whip

Read: John 19:1-15 and Matthew 27:26 – 31

Egg #6

Place the crown of thorns

Read: Matthew 27: 29 – 31

Egg #7

Place three nails

Read: Joh 19: 16 – 22

Egg #8

Place the dice

Read John 19:23 – 25

Egg #9

Place the soldier’s spear

Read: John 19:31 – 37

Egg #10

Place the linen cloth

Read: Matthew 27:57 – 61

Egg #11

Place the stone

Read: Matthew 28: 1-3

Egg #12

Leave empty!

Read Matthew 28: 5-8

Each day leading up to Easter Sunday (double up if you need to) have your Little(s) open the egg, read the corresponding verses, and discuss the story.  If they are very young use their children’s bible.  I don’t remember where I bought our Resurrection Eggs, but you can find them at Family Life‘s website.  Our pre-school uses this craft as a special way to teach the Easter story, so we have an ever growing collection of home made eggs too.

I hope you enjoy this tradition with your Littles as much as I do.  I know the craft is for them, but like so many other children’s activities I’m the one on the receiving end of the blessing.

Blessings to you as we continue to prepare our hearts for the Holy of Holiest week ahead.

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
