Fun Easter Activities

What are your favorite Easter traditions? As Christian believers we love incorporating a Passover Seder because the symbolism points so beautifully to the atoning work of Jesus on the cross. As a family we have saved spring themed activities for the days outside of Holy Week so we can focus on the sacredness of the death and resurrection during these special days.

Then, in the weeks following Holy Week, we buy chocolate eggs on sale, hide them in the grass and hunt them, dye eggs, and do all the other fun spring activities we've been looking forward to. I love keeping the focus of Holy Week on Jesus, and still delighting my children with all of the fun cultural activities centered around spring themes.

Here are a few more fun ideas for celebrating with your early learners.

1. Read or watch The Garden, the Curtain, and the Cross. This is a sweet book for your preschool homeschool.
