Fuzzy bunnies, fluffy chicks, and colorful eggs all signal that Spring is near and Easter is on it’s way! To Christians, Easter is more than just jellybeans and baskets of paper grass; Easter is a celebration of Jesus’ Resurrection. These Easter Traditions for The Christian Family have everything from books that portray the true meaning of Easter as well as hands on activities for families to experience together.

We all love egg hunts, jelly beans and the Easter bunny, but do you also want to add meaning to your family's Easter celebrations? There are many beautiful and fun Easter Traditions for Christian Families that will give you the opportunity to teach the important story of Easter to your children. Easter Traditions for the Christian Family. SunshineandHurricanes.com

Easter Traditions

My family enjoys egg hunts and bunny crafts and creating Easter Peeps Houses, but I’m also passionate about my children knowing the true significance of Easter. Whether it’s reading a Biblically based bedtime story or a scavenger hunt using the Bible, these Easter Traditions For The Christian Family are a fun and meaningful way to impart faith teachings to kids from toddlers to tweens.

ACTIVITIES


Resurrection Eggs– Make the Bible come alive with these unique eggs! My family has found these to be an invaluable resource for teaching our kids the meaning of Easter. The plastic eggs each contain a symbol that tie into the Biblical resurrection story. The hands on experience, along with the included companion book are perfect for toddlers through elementary school children. There are complete versions or ones your kids can color and help create.

Scavenger Hunt– This is a scripture based hunt that’s perfect for the whole family. It’s a great way to help younger kids become familiar with looking up Bible verses in an adult/regular Bible. There’s a free printable, too!

Easter Tree– Ann Voskamp has a beautiful, free Easter devotional book with picture downloads that depict the journey to the cross.  Families can print and create a meaningful tree to celebrate the true purpose of Easter.

Christian Easter Resources

Easter Garden– This is a lovely project from The Frugal Homemaker. I love how there are so many lessons for kids. From science to Bible, there’s so much to be learned with this activity and it would be a fun yearly tradition to incorporate.

    Really great ideas! We need to put Jesus back into the holiday, not the bunny. Thanks for the reminder!

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
