Christ-Centered Easter Ideas
Angel Food Cake as Garden Tomb
I made this angel food cake tomb that turned out pretty great! I just used a store-bought box and cut it in half to make it a tomb. We added jam inside and used a sugar cookie as the door. My daughter helped me decorate it with shredded coconut (that we dyed green to make it like grass), crumbs of the extra cake, graham cracker trail, and we added a bit of crushed oreos for dirt. We just kind of threw it together and I loved how it came together and that we made it as a family! It doesn’t have to be angel food cake (I liked the pun), but if you do use it, take note that it is delicate and it wanted to slump over after an hour or so.
Bread Dove Rolls
Bake some cute bird rolls and serve with soup or your Easter dinner. You can talk about the dove mentioned at the baptism of Jesus or when Jesus mentions sparrows in His Sermon on the Mount. There are lots of recipes online to fit your family’s needs.
Easter Scripture Scavenger Hunt
A sweet tradition you could add to your family is having a scavenger hunt to find their baskets of gifts. You can use scripture verses that would lead them to certain places in your home. It is a cute way to have them interact with the Word of God in a fun and unique way! Plus, they are excited to see their basket of gifts.
