Resurrection Eggs
Resurrection Eggs are a great way to tell the story of Easter. We recommend making your own Resurrection Eggs either using the items below or the printable Resurrection Eggs Cards from Bible Games Central. Place each item in a plastic Easter egg, and use a permanent marker to write the corresponding number on the outside of each egg.
