Easter is such a special time to celebrate with our little ones, but let’s be honest—it’s also really easy for the real meaning of the season to get lost between chocolate bunnies and colorful plastic eggs.
That’s why I LOVE this simple, hands-on activity: Resurrection Eggs!
It’s playful and powerful. And best of all? It speaks straight to a preschooler’s heart.
What Are Resurrection Eggs?
Think of them like a tiny storytelling kit tucked inside a carton of plastic eggs. Each egg hides a small item or paper inside that represents a part of the Easter story—like a leaf for Palm Sunday, a cross for Jesus’ crucifixion, or a stone to show the empty tomb.
As you open each egg, you walk your child through the story of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection—step by step, one egg at a time.
Why They Work So Well
Preschoolers learn best through play and repetition. So when they get to touch the donkey, hold the nails, and see the stone, the story suddenly becomes very real and very memorable.
It’s not just a story they’re hearing—it’s a story they’re experiencing.
How to Use Them
You can do the whole set in one sitting (especially around the dinner table or during a church Easter event), or you can open one egg a day leading up to Resurrection Sunday. There’s no one right way—just start and see what clicks for your kiddos. You can tell the story yourself or we created a video you can play for the whole family!
Each egg is simple, short, and age-appropriate, making it easy to spark meaningful conversations with even your littlest learners.
Real Faith. Real Fun.
Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or preschool teacher, this activity is a beautiful way to center Easter around the gospel in a way young hearts can understand.
You don’t need to be a Bible expert or a Pinterest mom to do it. Just open the eggs and open the conversation. God does the rest.
Let’s help our little ones see Easter for what it truly is—a celebration of the risen King!
Download these Easter Eggs below for your own Easter Egg Event, you can cut them out and place in plastic eggs or just hide them around the house without the eggs! Either way, you will have fun looking for eggs and learning the true Easter Story.
We also have these cards which will help children realize that God is faithful and keeps His promises. This will help a child learn to trust God’s promises in his/her life (and parents too).
