Easter 2012

I know it's December, but I was going through some old things and thought I'd post the Easter Bunny's coloring page from 2012.  Enjoy!

This Year's Coloring Page

Another simple offering from the Easter Bunny:

Each year the Easter Bunny leaves a coloring page in my kids' Easter baskets to help them remember the real meaning of the day. Here is this year's page:

For past years' pages, see HERE and HERE.

FYI, the Easter Bunny found the text and images for this activity HERE. :)

Easter Coloring Pages

The past couple of years, the Easter Bunny has begun leaving coloring pages in the kids' Easter baskets to help them remember what Easter is all about. Here are the ones he's left so far:

I wonder what he'll bring this year!

Yummy Easter Object Lesson

Thanks to Michelle for this wonderful idea!

Resurrection Rolls: Great Object Lesson for Easter
Ingredients:
1 (10 oz.) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
8 large marshmallows
1/8-1/4 cup melted butter
1-2 TBLSP cinnamon
1-2 TBLSP white sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Separate crescent rolls into 8 individual triangles.
In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon & sugar.
Dip a marshmallow into melted butter, then roll in sugar/cinnamon mixture. Place marshmallow in the center of a dough triangle.
***Be sure to pinch all seams together tightly to seal in marshmallow as it melts.
Place on baking sheet. Bake until golden brown - about 15 min.

Share how the marshmallow represents His body.
The butter/sugar/cinnamon represents the oil & spices used to prepare His body, which was laid to rest in the tomb (dough).
The tomb, like the roll, was found empty, for He had risen!

Number Of Servings:8 * Preparation Time:20 min.

Fun Easter Lesson

Here is a lesson (great for Family Home Evening) about the last events in the Savior's life, leading up to the Resurrection. Label twelve plastic eggs with #1-12 (mine are labeled with masking tape--you could use small labels, or just write on the eggs themselves...whatever!). Each egg contains a scripture and an object. We look up the scripture, read it, and discuss what the object has to do with the scripture. The kids really like finding out what is in each egg, and it is a fun, interactive way to review what happened in the life of our Savior before He died and was resurrected. The last egg, of course, is empty like the tomb (except for the scripture), and I use a bigger egg just to make it a little extra special.

If you use all small eggs, these can be stored nicely in an egg carton. Mine just stay in a plastic bag all year! :)
