Resurrection Eggs Preschool Style

I have linked to this idea several times in past posts, but after putting them together in minutes today, I decided to share more details here. I'm just in love with this idea!

Thank you, Stacie Nelson @ Motherhood on a Dime, for this excellent (and easy!) way to teach our littles about Easter!

What you'll need:
  • 6 large plastic eggs
  • Letter stickers
  • Heart sticker
  • Band-aid
  • Paper cross
  • Tomb made of play-doh or clay
  • Rock
1. Take your large eggs and spell out "Easter" putting one sticker on each egg.


2. Put the heart sticker in the first letter E egg.

"E is for Each of us. God loves everyone."
3. Put the band-aid in the A egg.

"A is for A broken world, so He sent His Son."
4. Put the paper cross (or in our case, the cross that Marie made at MOPS) in the S egg.

"S is for our Sins that Jesus took away."
5. Put the tomb in the T egg.

"T is for the Tomb where He lay for 3 whole days."
6. Put the rock in the second E egg.

"E is for the Empty tomb. The stone was rolled away."
7. Leave the R egg empty.

"R is for the Risen Lord. Jesus is alive today!"
The poem written by Stacie Nelson:

E is for Each of us. God loves everyone.
A is for A broken world, so He sent His Son.
S is for our Sins that Jesus took away.
T is for the Tomb where He lay for three whole days.
E is for the Empty tomb. The stone was rolled away.
R is for the Risen Lord. Jesus is alive today!

I laminated mine in hopes that it'll last until we no longer have preschool age around.

... that is a very sad thought!



It's not too late to put these together and add some meaning to your traditional egg hunt!
And He was shown to be the Son of God when He was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. He is Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 1:4

  1. THANK you for this idea! I was just lamenting that I was not able to get to the Christian book store to put religious items into their Easter baskets. I am definitely doing this! I love that it uses things I can find around the house.
