Tell the Story of Easter with Ressurection Eggs

My kids love "doing" our Ressurection Eggs. They are an easy & fun way to present the Easter Story to our kids. We generally get them out several times before Easter & do several different things with them. They love doing it over & over again each year & I love hearing them playing with the eggs to each other. We have opened them all up in one sitting, split them up & do one, two, or three eggs each night leading up to Easter, we have hid the eggs, let the kids find them, then tell the story. There is so many ways you can do it.

You can purchase them in stores, but they are also very easy to make on your own. One thing to remember, there is so many items you can use to tell the different parts of Easter, I've listed a few, there is many other items you can use to teach the story of Easter.
