We have opened and learned with half of our Resurection eggs.
It is a challenge to teach children about the true meaning of Easter
surrounded by all the commercialism.
We still enjoy Easter egg hunts and look for Easter baskets after
Sunrise service at church...but conveying the true reason
for celebration begins at this young impressionable age.
We picked up these eggs last week at my nephew Cole's
confirmation celebration at his church.
We have opened 2 every night in this week leading up to Easter.
We generally do this at bedtime as our story time.
From the looks of things...Sam is really sleepy!
Here is the associated scripture. Our boys love the connection of their item from the egg with the bible.
