How to Use Resurrection eggs to teach the Easter story

These eggs can double as an Easter decoration if they are kept in a pretty basket. Then each day your children can take turns opening one egg and putting the item on a knick-knack shelf. Read short passages from the Bible, or tell the story to them bit by bit each day. Once they are familiar with the story, they can be the ones to tell the story.

Displaying the items on a knick-knack shelf can also double as an Easter decoration--a bit like a Christmas advent calendar. It doesn’t have to be a house shape, but if you can find one, you can add a popsicle stick cross to the top to represent a church since Jesus said, “I will build my church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail.” If you can’t find one, you can add a triangular box to the top of a rectangular shelf, or make one out of small cardboard boxes taped or glued together, and cover it in contact paper.
