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!
