The Easter story is such an important lesson for children of all ages to hear for the first time and then to hear over<br />
and over again in a variety of ways. We often learn best when our activities are supported by visual prompts. These<br />
yummy cookies represent the empty tomb that was found on Easter morning leading us to know that HE Has<br />
Risen…<br />

Biblical Correlation &<br />
Explanation<br />
Jesus was arrested and<br />
beaten by the Roman<br />
soldiers<br />
When Jesus was thirsty on<br />
the cross, the soldiers gave<br />
him vinegar to drink<br />
Eggs represent life. Jesus<br />
gave His life to give life to us<br />
Salty tears were shed by<br />
Jesus’ followers<br />
The “sweet” part of the story<br />
is that Jesus dies because He<br />
loves Us! He wants us to<br />
know and belong to Him<br />
White represents our sins<br />
being cleansed by Jesus<br />
The mounds represent the<br />
rocky tomb where Jesus’<br />
body was left<br />
Jesus was placed in His tomb<br />
and it was sealed<br />
On the first Resurrection,<br />
Jesus’ followers were amazed<br />
to find the tomb open and<br />
empty<br />
