Have you ever wondered what eggs have to do with Easter? Me too. Chances are, your kids wonder too. As a Christian, one of the most meaningful celebrations we have is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. While there are many fun traditions associated with Easter, it is important our children know why we celebrate… and this means keeping Christ as the center.
Believe it or not, eggs do have historical significance, although not everyone will come to the same convictions about using them. {A great Easter family project would be to research this and then decorate some eggs!}
Here is a roundup of ideas for making Easter both fun and purposeful.
