A follow up on a question about Lent and Easter resources and books for kids. Here are some things that we’ve found helpful.
Resurrection Eggs — These eggs allow you to tell the story of Passion through the use of symbols leading up to Easter and Jesus’ resurrection. Great for helping children understand the story of this season. $15 online here.
All Through the Day, All Through the Year — This is a book that is framed around the liturgical calendar from the beginning of Advent through the end of November. It highlights special days and gives concrete ways to commemorate and celebrate throughout the year. There’s a complete section on Lent, Holy Week and Easter. It’s hard to find these days, but well worth the cost.
Veggie Tales: An Easter Carol This is a great video about the message of Easter told through the lens of A Christmas Carol. It revolves around a plastic egg factory and the desire to tear down a church to create “Easter Land” where Easter can be forever. Kids will love it!
