Preparation:
Before class, print out enough Egg Holder templates so that each child
can have at least one. It is best to print the templates on card stock,
which is slightly heavier than regular paper.
What the kids will do:
Give each of the children one of the Egg Holder templates and have them
cut along the dashed gray lines. Once the children have finished cutting
out the egg holder have them tape or glue the text portion "Jesus
is Alive!" around to the opposite side of Jesus. Click
here for examples.
*Optional - If you would like, you could also give the children plastic
eggs filled with candy. The kids could use the plastic eggs to help them
make the egg holder the proper size and it will make the craft a bit more
memorable.
What you will say:
As the kids work on their projects tell them about the real reason for
Easter. Explain to them that it may be fun to get candy and dye colorful
eggs but the real reason for Easter is that Jesus had died on the cross
for our sins and then three days later He rose from the dead. After Jesus
rose from the dead, He appeared and spoke to His followers. Jesus spent
forty days with His followers before He went back up to Heaven. One day
Jesus will be coming back! |
