JESUS IS RISEN
Luke 24: 6-7
He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee. 'The son of man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.
We started off the week learning about the resurrection of Jesus. How he died on the cross for our sins and on the third day rose again. We made this craft with coffee filter and then I outlined and colored in the 3 crosses on a paper plate.
Here are some of the books (BIBLE) we used to tell about the Resurrection.
Wonderful movie we watched by the Veggie Tales on the Easter Carol.
We went to our weekly story time and craft at our local library. Mrs. Rita read different stories on Easter and then the kids made Easter crafts.
Dartanain and Kanani working hard on their Easter crafts.
She was so proud how her crafts came out.
After story time and crafts the kids went did an Easter egg hunt in the library. Each child was only allowed to pick 5 eggs each, in each egg there was a number. Once they finished getting their eggs we went back to the activity room and opened the eggs. Depending on the number it depended on what prizes they would get.
At my parents church they had an Easter service for the kids. There the kids went to 3 different stations which would tell about different parts of the Resurrection. Once they completed all three stations they headed to the main sanctuary for praise and worship and then the children's leader spoke about the Resurrection. Once she was done they asked all the kids from ages 4 through 5 grade to go to the altar to get their feet washed as a symbol of when Jesus washed his disciples feet.
We went on a field trip with our wonderful homeschool co-op to Hubb's Corn Maze for an Easter egg hunt. Dartanian was very excited to see the Easter bunny.
At our church they had an Eggstravangza for the kids. Here Kanani is helping our kids pastor talk about the Resurrection using the Resurrection eggs.
After the lesson on the Resurrection the kids went on a Easter egg hunt.
Once they were done with the Easter egg hunt they went back inside and did different stations that had different activities for them to do. In this station they colored some pictures of the Resurrection and then glued the pictures on the cross.
In this station they used water colors to paint eggs to reveal the hidden messages or pictures on the eggs.
The last station was decorating cupcakes, Kanani and Dartanian preferred to eat the cupcakes with no decor.
Made this cute Easter eggs using the kids thumbprints. Love how cute they came out, even made some for their grandparents.
The kids all dressed up for Resurrection Day at church.
