We used jumbo Easter eggs from Hobby Lobby (or I’ve also seen them at the Dollar Tree recently), and put a treat/snack as well as the daily picture inside of each. It’s great to throw a little treat or snack into each daily envelope/egg/container and place them all in an Easter basket to make it more fun. Laminate and put Velcro on the back of the pictures (or just use tape if laminated) so they can be placed on the circles on the Easter Banner. Can put the pictures on gold/patterned paper to make them stand out more. Daily Descriptions and Pictures: Have the daily descriptions and pictures cut out and put in separate labeled envelopes/large plastic eggs/some kind of container for each day.If you want to reuse them, you can print it on cardstock, laminate all of the pieces, and put Velcro on the pictures, but you could just use regular paper and glue if you don’t want to reuse them. Either use them as is, put patterned paper underneath to make them more colorful and punch holes in the corners to place on a string/ribbon, or get a banner from Hobby Lobby (or another craft store) to glue them onto. Banner Pieces: Have the banner triangles cut out and put together.Video/Book: Start on Sunday the week before Easter with watching a short video or reading a quick book explaining Easter such as “ A Very Special Easter.” Remind them of the real reason why we celebrate Easter and discuss the hope and joy we can have because of Jesus Christ. ![]() It really helps brings the Spirit into our home and reminds us of what Easter is about.
