Easter Story Egg Activity Set
- Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
The Easter Story is not a one-day event, but something that began on Palm Sunday. This beautiful set of stacking plastic/wood composite eggs and Hardcover Book can be used to tell that story in a way that will be remembered.
The set contains seven plastic/wood composite nesting eggs, each representing an event between Palm Sunday and the Resurrection. Begin with the largest egg, approximately 5.5" tall and 3.5" diameter, which has a palm leaf painted on both sides; this represents Palm Sunday. The next egg, nested neatly inside, is painted with a gold and white temple that represents God's House of Prayer. Next, is an egg with a heart on both sides, this represents the greatest commandment, "Love the Lord with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself." The next egg shows a beautiful jar pouring out to represent the woman who washed Jesus with expensive perfume at Simon's home. The last supper is painted on the next egg, and the sixth egg has a colorful cross painted on both sides. The seventh and smallest egg is painted gray to represent the stone at the tomb. The egg halves fit snugly together; the more you play with them the easier they will open.
The book included in the set is a 39-page, hardcover book that tells the story to go along with the egg. Simple, colorful illustrations are found on almost every page, rhyming lyrics tell the story of each egg, and a Bible verse (NIV) finishes out each section of the story. There are so many ways to use the Easter Story Egg and book - do one egg each day beginning with Palm Sunday and read only that portion of the story, let children unstack the eggs as the story is being read to them, or let children tell you the story using the eggs. Make this part of your family tradition as you celebrate the true meaning of Easter. ~ Donna
