With Easter comes eggs, baskets, rabbits, and chicks. But whatever happened to the focus on Christ's resurrection? Here are some fun ways to celebrate the true meaning of Easter with your kids that won't break the bank and will get them excited about the story of Christ's marvelous resurrection.
Doughnut Tomb
I have loved this idea for a long time. All you need are some glazed doughnuts and doughnut holes. Your kids can easily create the scene where the stone was rolled away from the tomb. You can take learning even further by having them copy the verse.
The KJV reads: "And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre." (Luke 24:2)
