In our home, Easter is all about the cross. In fact, that famous little bunny has actually never even stopped by. It’s not that we are bunny haters or anything. I simply found that I couldn’t bring myself to focus Easter morning on it. I want that day to be all about the amazing gift that we have in the resurrection of our Savior. Maybe you do as well.
So I came up with a compromise that has been a beautiful tradition in our home. Instead of a traditional basket and talk of a bunny, we have a Resurrection basket. Even though it’s not hidden by a cute little bunny, it creates such fun for the children on Easter morning. The basket is filled with things that celebrate God’s love for them and Jesus’ amazing gift to us through salvation.
This year I figured you might want in on the fun, so we created a few printables to go in the basket. Use one or use them all, it’s up to you of course! Just have fun planting God’s truth into the hearts of your children. That’s what this day (and every day) is really all about!
What’s included in the Resurrection Basket Printables:
Jelly Bean Prayer printable
Candy Bar printable
The Stone Was Rolled Away (Rollo candy) printable
Band-Aid printable
I also included our traditional chocolate crosses that I purchase every year at Target for $1, as well as the Lindt chocolate lambs.

What a great idea! We have done resurrection eggs every year after church. We have a family devotional time and then some treats. It hard to find a balance when our children see the worldly Easter every time you leave the house. Thanks for sharing the printables! Huge help to us computer challenged moms!

I love the printables! If I understand correct, you are including a chocolate cross, chocolate lambs, jelly beans, a roll of Rolos, a candy bar (kid favorite?), and a box of band-aides in your kids’ Resurrection Basket. Did I get that correct? Thank you for sharing.
