Make Your Own Resurrection Eggs This Easter<\/span><\/div>\n

Resurrection eggs have been around for awhile and I simply love them. But making them with your children can be even more meaningful. <\/span>

<\/span><\/p>\n
What you’ll need:<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
An empty egg carton<\/span><\/div>\n
A dozen plastic eggs<\/span><\/div>\n
11 items that signify Jesus’ death and rising <\/span><\/div>\n
Printable verses to be applied and read with each egg<\/span><\/div>\n
Markers\/colors or whatever you want to decorate your resurrection eggs carton<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Each egg will represent what happens leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion to the last egg which is empty signifying Jesus’ empty tomb. Each egg should be numbered from 1-12 to keep it easy and in chronological order. Read each verse that corresponds with egg to tell the story. Your kids will love this…<\/span><\/div>\n
