The Easter story cards give a simple, visual, chronological account of the Easter story as it happened during Holy Week, beginning on Palm Sunday and ending on Easter Sunday. On the front, you'll find a watercolor painting depicting an element of what happened on that day in history. On the back, you'll find an Easter reading plan from the Bible as well as a short, scripted recap about what you just read. Here are a few ideas of how your family can use these cards: Use the cards to guide your family devotion time during Holy Week. Choose the same time each day to talk about that day's story card, such as morning, meal time, or bedtime. Create an Easter display that builds over Holy Week by adding a card each day. Create a garland of cards using string and clothespins, or tape the cards on a door or window. Prepare a special meal or dessert to celebrate Easter, and use the cards to review the events from Holy Week. Play a hide and seek game. Hide the cards around the house in places your kids will find them, then help them arrange the cards in the correct order and talk about the Easter story together. The Easter story is not an easy one to explain to our children, but one that is vital to our faith. I pray that these cards will help you to impress these deep truths on your children's hearts, and help to open their eyes to the gospel! Printed version: The printed story cards are printed on 5x7" matte cardstock with rounded edges, and they'll arrive in a protective sleeve and a drawstring bag, perfect for keeping or giving. Digital download: When you purchase the listing for digital download cards, you'll receive an immediate digital download to the email address you provide. No physical cards will be sent. To print the 5x7" cards from home, set your printer to scale at 100% and print double-sided. You may also have these printed at a local print shop.

Inspired by the Easter Story Wreath I saw at Oriental Trading (pictured below), I thought it'd be fun to draw my own version for kids to color, cut and assemble! I wanted to include Pentecost in my wreath (it's not included in the one above) and also add scripture verses to make it tell the Easter story in better detail. (And by-the-way, I really didn't care for the "happy hippy" Jesus in their wreath--I mean, he's SMILING during the agony in the garden? Really?) So anyway, here is my own version of an Easter Story Wreath. Please feel free to print as many as you like! There are three documents to print (2 image docs and one scripture egg doc). To assemble the wreath simply print, color and cut out the images. For a wreath base I used a large circle (approx. 11 1/2 " in diameter) cut from a 12" x 12" piece of cardstock: I arranged the pictures to "tell" the story from Palm Sunday (starting on the top right) through Pentecost (placed in the top center). If you're interested in making this wreath I'm sure you're already very familiar with the order of the events, but I will go ahead and list them just in case: 1. Jesus enters Jerusalem (palm branch and donkey pictures) 2. The Last Supper (bread and wine pictures) 3. Jesus Prays in Gethsemane (praying hands picture) 4. Jesus is Crucified (cross picture) 5. Resurrection (empty tomb picture) 6. Ascension (Jesus in clouds picture) 7. Holy Spirit Comes Down (dove and flames pictures) Here is an example of an assembled wreath will look like: I overlapped some of the pictures on top of each other to make them fit nicely--feel free to arrange them however you like! Glue stick or Glue Dots work well to affix the pictures to the wreath base. You can print the wreath images by clicking on the links below: Easter Wreath Pictures Page 1 of 3 (Microsoft doc) Easter Wreath Pictures page 2 of 3 (Microsoft doc) Easter Wreath Pictures page 3 of 3 (Microsoft doc) NOTE: Some people have mentioned that their scripture eggs are printing out blank. If you experience this, you can try editing the document to re-arrange the order of the "egg shape" to send it to the back. This has fixed the issue for most people. I hope that helps. If you are still unable to print the eggs with scripture in them, you can also print the text separately and simply cut and paste it onto the blank eggs. Below is the document with the scripture verses by themselves: Scripture Verses TEXT ONLY (microsoft doc) I hope this wreath helps make the Easter season more meaningful for your family!
