Names of Christ Easter Eggs

This blog post from Cranial Hiccups decorates their Easter tree with pictures of Jesus Christ and included dyed eggs. They blew out the inside of the eggs, drew on the shell with clear crayon and then dyed them to reveal the name. What a beautiful way to integrate a common tradition of dying eggs and focus it back on the Savior!

Make, Fill, and Light an Oil Lamp

Make with clay with the video tutorial linked or buy a clay 1st-century shaped lamp online. Read the parable of the 10 Virgins (Matt. 25:1-13 & more mentioned in D&C 45:56-59). Fill the lamp with oil you have at home, add a wick of fabric and light to watch it glow and last for hours.

Eat figs on Holy Monday

The day after His Triumphal Entry, Jesus cursed a fig tree. Read the scriptures about this story (Matt. 21:18-19; Mark 21:18-22) and eat some figs.

“Find the colt” in the yard

Print out a donkey or use a donkey figurine and have your children go out searching for the colt for Jesus to ride on.
