Teach children about the meaning of Easter through these free Easter activities
When it comes to celebrating Easter with kids, thoughts mostly turn to Easter egg hunts, hat parades, the Easter Bunny and hot cross buns. Some parents may buy gifts for their children, books are released about lambs, chicks and springtime (even though it is autumn in Australia), and pastel décor is everywhere.
It all sounds fun and sweet, but there is more to Easter.
Easter is when we remember Jesus’ death on a cross, which is called Good Friday. And Easter Sunday is when we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead. The entire weekend is a reminder to us that God loves us and wants to be our friend. “For this is how much God loved the world – he gave his one and only, unique Son as a gift” (John 3:16, TPT).
It can be tricky trying to share this message with kids. We have prepared some fun Easter activities for families to help teach children about the meaning of Easter.
