This Easter Resurrection Eggs lesson is perfect for Sunday School Easter lessons, but it also works perfectly for family night. Kids love this fun Easter object lesson!
Easter is such a fun holiday for kids, and my family looks forward to it every year. As much as I love the egg hunts, the coloring of Easter eggs, and the yummy food, I really strive as a mother to help my children understand the reason why we celebrate Easter – Jesus Christ.
On that third day, the tomb was empty. He lives. And because he conquered death, all of us can live again. What a miracle!
This resurrection lesson has been an Easter tradition in my family for years. It is a great way to help the scriptures come alive, even for small children. I am grateful to my mom who taught me to love the scriptures from a very young age. She and my dad taught me the stories, and the principles that went along with them.
As a teenager when my family was going through rough times, my mom would turn to the scriptures for comfort. In fact, I remember that she would sometimes lock herself in the bathroom so she could read uninterrupted! Maybe she wouldn’t want people to know that, but it sure made an impact on me. So sorry mom, your secret is out.
If like me, you are striving to teach your kids to love the scriptures and the Savior, this lesson is for you.

I prepare children for First Communion and your lesson on the Resurrection using easter eggs is one of my favorites. It is amazing how wonderfully touched the children are and how the lesson encapsulates the entire Holy Week to the Resurrection so simply, but so profoundly. Thank you for sharing this lesson.
I am so happy to hear that you are using it! My kids have always loved it, and I’ve shared it with Sunday School classes as well. It really does help the scriptures come to life and keep the focus on the real meaning of Easter. š
Can’t find printable scripture for eggs
Sorry, I just saw your email. I hope you were able to get it printed off for Easter.
I LOVE your speckled easter eggs. My mom had those growing up. Where did you find yours? I have been hunting for years for some like that but I guess they arent the style anymore LOL.

Sorry it didn’t work. I’ve tried both the link to the lesson and the art, and they both seem fine. Which one didn’t work for you?
