Bible Alive! Tuesday: Resurrection Eggs

Resurrection Eggs are
ALL OVER
the World Wide Web
during Easter...

(Click HERE and HERE and HERE
for different versions of the craft.
Also, Tish from Adventures in Mommydom
has a neat idea for turning
the Resurrection Eggs into a bracelet-

***********************************

I think Resurrection Eggs are an EXCELLENT way
to present Jesus' crucifixion to kiddos......so when Little Wild Man
brought home a set he made in church......I was not at all surprised by the fact that
he couldn't WAIT to show them all to me.
