Easter
Happy March! I love this month because that means Spring is finally JUST around the corner! Our new website www.homemaking911.com has been up for a few weeks now and we are receiving a lot of positive feedback. Thank you for your comments and suggestions. We appreciate each and every one!
Easter is just around the corner. While the bunnies and eggs are cute, do not let Easter go by without sharing with your children The Easter Story.
1. Purchase or make some "Resurrection Eggs" to discuss with your family. We purchased these at a Christian Book Store a few years ago. Each year around Easter, we will get these eggs out and go through them as a family. If you are not famiar with these, they are plastic eggs, but instead of candy inside, there is a tiny symbol related to the Easter Story. We did these together at home and with our girls' book club as well.
2. Read the Easter Story. You can find this account in: John 20, Matthew 27:45-28, 21. If your children are younger, you can have them dramatize it for the family as you read it aloud.
3. Re-use the plastic eggs. We often hide them over and over. Sometimes we will put a penny in each one, or a tiny note. You can give coupons for a game time, or extra ten minutes of bedtime reading, or a coupon for a date night out with mom or dad.
4. Make Resurrection Cookies. There are many versions of this found freely all over the internet. |
