Painting Eggs

The girls have been asking me all week, when do we get to paint our eggs. So last night while Jeremy was gone to church for a meeting we decided we would paint our eggs. The girls always have so much fun doing this. They get so creative with their painting. At first it was just dip the egg in one color and then be done, but by the end they were dipping the top part of the egg in one color and the bottom half in a different color. Then they started dipping their eggs in all the different colors.

While painting our eggs we were able to talk about how eggs represent new life. Easter is all about new life because of the sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the cross we have new life in Him. I'm so thankful the story doesn't end with Jesus dying on the cross, 3 days later He rose again.

Another fun thing we like to do with our girls at Easter are the Resurrection Eggs. This is a fun and creative way to teach your children the true meaning of Easter. We have done this for several years now. It is fun to see our oldest daughter get excited as each egg opens, because she already knows what the meaning behind each object in the egg is. Even our middle daughter knows most of them. I encourage you if you have small children this is a great resource to be able to teach them the true meaning of Easter
