Day 1 of Resurrection Eggs!

Today was Day 1 of our Resurrection eggs activity!

Last week I purchased the Resurrection Eggs from Family Christian Stores for about $13. In the package comes a plastic egg carton with 12 eggs, 1 each representing 12 days before Jesus rose from the dead.


I also planned a lapbook activity to go along with our eggs to reinforce what the girls were going to be learning. If you don't know about lapbooks here is a good place to start:

Here is where I got some of the ideas for our Resurrection Egg Lapbook:

(There are tons of resources out there on lapbooking. I love it because the kids are secretly learning while crafting...key in my house!)






moving on...

We began the lapbook, glued in our 12 paper eggs and dove into day 1 where Jesus rode the donkey into Jerusalem and the people laid Palm Fronds down for his Donkey to walk on because they believed He was there to save them.
I wont tell you what was inside Day 1's eggs in case you like surprises :) But maybe you shouldnt look at this picture:



We are excited to keep up with this and continue it for the next 12 school days (which will take us right up to Easter)

Thanks for looking!
