Our Easter Traditions 2014

 Easter 2014 Traditions...
Here is a recap of our Easter activities…
We made a Palm Sunday picture with Jeremiah’s palm prints and cut out and pasted a donkey.  We found palm branches and waved and shouted Hosanna and acted out the story and sang a Steve Green- Hosanna song…

Easter- We painted on plates with washable paint and pasted crosses and wrote Christ is Risen!  We cut potatoes in half and I carved crosses on them and used paint to stamp them on paper.  We did a Resurrection Garden and leading up to Easter each day hid and egg and Jeremiah found it before nap time and we read a story about Jesus and looked at what was in the Resurrection Egg.  Easter week, we read a Bible story corresponding with each day of the week for Holy Week.  On Friday, we put Jesus on the cross on our garden and put him in the tomb and rolled the stone.  Sometimes at lunch we would light a candle and then blow it out as it was getting closer to Jesus’ death.  On Easter- we made and ate a Lamb Cake which was a Red Velvet cake and asked Jeremiah why is the cake- red?  He kept asking- why is the cake red?  Because it represents Jesus blood for our sin.  We also made Easter baskets and hid them for Jeremiah and Lydia.  When we woke up- Jeremiah ran to the tomb of our garden and it was empty- Jesus is Risen!  We also hid our Resurrection eggs outside on Easter and hunted for them and reviewed what was inside each egg.  We also did the tradition dying of Easter eggs when my parents were here- which was very messy- it was a good activity to do outside!
