Anticipating Easter

Help your family anticipate (and then celebrate) Easter with some simple traditions that hint at what’s to come.

• Use paper and paste to create Easter cards for friends or family.
• Bake a batch of hot cross buns together, using an online recipe.
• Look for books about the true meaning of Easter at your local public library (Benjamin's Box is a great one).
• Create a bookmark shaped like a cross and mark the Easter story in your family Bible.
• Fill individual plastic eggs with a candy treat and a slip of paper that contains special Bible verses (John 3:16 is a good place to start). Hide them, then go hunting, and then share them together.
