I know everyone has a Resurrection Eggs printable or their own version, but last year we printed this off onto Shrinky Dink paper and made our own that we then shrunk down and wore as a necklace or a bracelet. It was a lot of fun.
Donkey- Triumphal Entry
Bread- last supper (also looks like rock, so it could be rock rolled in front of tomb)
Praying Hands- Garden of Gethsemane
Coins- for the 30 coins Judas received
whip-for the whipping Jesus received
soap/washing hands- Pilate washed his hands of the matter
thorns- for the crown of thorns
feather-for the rooster that crowed when Peter said he betrayed him
dice- the soldiers cast lots for Jesus clothes
nails- for the nails used to nail Jesus to the cross
spear-that was put in Jesus side to verify He was dead.
empty egg-for the empty tomb
I took some of the ideas from Smithsroom Resurrection Eggs, and some from other versions. I wanted to make it slightly different than what my kids had come to expect. I’m actually think of making a new version with more of the symbols incorporated.
I have a large collection of Easter Activities on my Easter pinterest board.
Oh, I had TOTALLY forgotten about this from last year- and I want to do it THIS year! I am off to the store to get some Shinky Dink Plastic...
