Easter for Kids

March 25 By Kim Sorgius 12 Comments

25 Mar
easter-for-kids

Growing up, I remember getting Easter baskets filled by the mysterious “Easter bunny.” It was fun. My mom made it memorable. She always made sure I knew how much she loved me. But, except for Easter Sunday service, we didn’t really focus on Jesus.

While I love Peeps and chocolate eggs, in our home, Easter is all about Jesus. I have no real moral problem with the bunny, I simply find that I’d rather spend my time with the KING of KINGS! So, I’m always in search of activities that will help me point my children to the cross.

Today I’d like to share some of my favorite ways to foster a meaningful Easter for kids that points them to Jesus!

Resurrection Eggs

There are tons of different ways to DIY resurrection eggs. Though this set makes it super simple.

Easter for kids

Kids hunt for these eggs, then you open the eggs together to reveal the surprise inside (each surprise symbolizing something on Jesus’ journey to the cross). As you open each egg you read the story of Christ together. It’s a really great way to make Easter fun and meaningful!

Easter Tree for Kids

You can pick up a small tabletop tree from your local garden store or an artificial tree online (like this one) and then hang your resurrection eggs on it! It’s a beautiful seasonal reminder of the story of Christ!

Family Passover Meal

Observing the Passover meal as a family can be a sweet way to point our families to Christ. Each item on the Passover plate can point to the fulfillment found in Christ. If you’ve never participated in a Christ-centered Passover meal, it takes a bit of preparation. But the result is beautiful.

This Passover plate (similar to the one above) along with this simple guide or this printable from Ann Voskamp will help you be prepared!

Resurrection Rolls

These rolls are an easy and hands-on way to teach kids about the empty tomb of Christ! There are only a few ingredients and the result is yummy! Check it out by clicking the image below.

Easter Cross Mosaic Craft for Kids

This is a simple craft to do with kids to point them to the cross. A little paper and glue will set them up to create a colorful reminder of Jesus! If you don’t have colored paper, you could use paint and let the kids do colorful fingerprints all over the cross!

Tape Resist Cross Art

With this simple activity your kids will only need some tape, paint, and paper. In just a few minutes they will have created a beautiful cross!

Resurrection Garden

Making a resurrection garden is a hands-on way to talk about the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.

Kids will love finding rocks and digging in some dirt for this tangible way of sharing the story of Christ.

Easter Rock Basket

This is a great way to teach kids about the exchange Jesus gives – our sin for His righteousness. The Saturday before Easter, ask your kids which sins they have seen in their own life. Then write those on rocks with a marker. Put the rocks in their Easter baskets. Cover the baskets with a blanket. Then while they sleep, replace the rocks with treats. On Easter morning, you can then emphasize the love and grace of God to take away our sin. Click here for a more detailed explanation.

Cork Board Easter Lesson for Kids

This is a tangible way to teach kids specifically about sin and the need for forgiveness on a daily basis. This activity will help make this Easter for your kids meaningful as you celebrate the grace of Christ!

Easter Printables for Kids

I’ve got a few printables for kids that will also help make Easter meaningful. From my Jelly Bean Prayer Printable to the Names of Jesus Easter countdown, these printables will point your family to the Lord in fun but simple ways!

I hope you found something that you love! These Easter activities for kids will keep their mind occupied and also teach them about God’s love. Got another idea? I’d love to hear it!

    What an amazing collection of Easter related posts! Thank you SO much for sharing all of this. It must have taken quite a bit or organizing and it’s much appreciated! I am clicking to the Christ centered Easter studies now! Thank you, too, for featuring my Crucifixion art…what an honor.

    Have a lovely night!

    My granddaughter turned 11 and couldn’t have her friends over but she took everything in stride as always. The had a FaceTime happy birthday with a bunch of friends at the same time. Then the dropped parents at the door and writ notes in the sidewalk with chalk. They also did a bunch of friends and family do a drive by with signs and honking saying Happy Birthday. Also thanks for all the Easter suggestions

Here’s What Others Are Saying about Not Consumed

Fabulous, heart-felt resources for parents!

Thank you, Kim, for continuing to offer such fabulous and heart-felt resources to us parents! I was not raised in a Christian home and feel like I’m floundering in the dark trying to raise my children to know and love the Lord. Your emails and bible studies are my lifeline! You should write a parenting manual!

May God continue to bless you and your family abundantly!

Brings courage to my heart!

I want to thank you for your transparency and dedication to blessing families with resources. Thank you for the life giving words that I read over and over. I cling to the hope I see in your story. Not only did you help me work through things that had happened, you prepared me for a situation that could have consumed me. God used your encouragement to strengthen me. I was so beaten down, discouraged, and tired from the long and difficult path I had been walking. It was a refreshing rain in the middle of a weary road, and it made me hope for a future that is victorious.

Monthly Scripture Pages

Thank you for creating the monthly Scripture pages... especially the KJV one! It's the only Bible I use and hardly any bloggers use it on their stuff. I also really appreciate the products that you provide. I really appreciate the insights, laughter, and thoughtfulness put into your blog, emails, Facebook posts, etc.

My daughter loves it all!

I just want to write and let you know that my 13-year-old daughter loves, love, loves everything I have ever ordered from you and says that she wants your entire inventory of bible studies for her next birthday!

Thank you for making a positive difference in our lives!

Like Being With a Girlfriend

Thanks for sharing a piece of your family. Your blog is, honestly, the only one I have ever subscribed to. I feel like I'm on the phone with a girlfriend every time I read your words. I love it! I often find myself spending hours clicking from one post to the next telling myself, "okay, one more and then go to bed!" It's all just so helpful!

Lasting Impression on My Entire Family

I wanted to write to encourage you and say, "THANK YOU!" I've been following your blog for years, and you have made such a lasting impression on my entire family. We've purchased many of your Bible Studies and a few other wonderful homeschooling resources, all of which we absolutely love!!! Still, I believe the greatest compliment I can give you is that because of your Bible Studies that my children and I have completed together, my oldest daughter has been so inspired, she's started creating her own daily devotionals, modeled after the ones you've made. They are absolutely precious (in her own little 12-year old way), and she prints one off each morning for our entire family to complete during our quiet time. When she finishes her first "study" (which is on the Fruits of the Spirit by the way), she plans to print a set to hand out to her small group at church. To see my daughter take ownership of her faith in this way and to bless others with a deeper study of God's Word is a precious gift to me, and I can't thank you enough for your inspiration and positive influence!

You're in my head, sister!

I just wanted you to know that I LOVE your blog. I can’t tell you how much the homeschooling posts have meant to me. It’s like you’re in my head, sister!! Thank you so much for taking the time in your busy life to minister to struggling moms and making me feel as if I’m not alone.

Life-giving Words

What an encouragement your words have been to me! The practical tips and realistic systems that you share are so super helpful, but what I have appreciated the most has been your genuine heart for the Lord and for the things of the Lord. What I sense through your words is a heart submitted to the Lord, clinging to Him instead of to bitterness. Walking a path that you never signed up for, painfully aware of your brokenness and inadequacies, but keeping your eyes focused on the only Giver of Life. You have a testimony of victory, of overcoming, Kim. Your life-giving words boast of the faithfulness of a God who hears and sees and knows and provides and comforts. A God who doesn't change.

Positive Impact in My Life

I've been following your blog for a couple years and I have enjoyed participating in your free bible studies/devotions as well as those I've purchased from you. I just wanted to let you know that you've made such a positive impact in my spiritual and home school life, as well as support and encouragement for motherhood. Thank you for being such a blessing to so many moms.

Love everything you do!

As far as the other things, I LOVE my brothers keeper and we've done it twice over the past year or two. I recommend it all the time on so many groups online. I type notconsumed.com almost daily somewhere on something. At times I will come across another resource you have created and it's like you are in my head. So much of what you create is exactly what I want but am not techy enough to do! I had googled a checklist for homeschooling recently and yours popped up. It was exactly the simple thing I wanted. I told my husband that you "get me" when I found it. :) I ended up buying it then hearing about the course and did that too. Even as a veteran homeschool mom I learned a few things from your course. I really love how you foster independence in your kids in stages. Again, exactly what I want to do!

Bible Studies are Incredible!

I just ordered and am in the process of printing out so many of your amazing resources and I can't wait to get started! Your bible studies are incredible and so thoughtful, your planner is wonderfully laid out and your breakfast and lunch stations will save me so much time!! I don't know how you do it all, but I'm thankful you do!
