10 Awesome Easter Object Lessons
For me, Easter is the best of the Christian holidays. It is a day of celebration and rejoicing. Easter is the day that we set aside to remember how Jesus conquered death and the grave and rose from the dead. This act ensured that we will be saved from our sin if we accept Jesus as savior.

This is a message I want my children to grasp and hold onto. To do that, I need to make sure they know it. Object lessons are a great way to learn a story or lesson and commit it to memory, plus they are lots of fun. Here are some family Easter activities that make great object lessons.
Wreath and object lesson - Your children can make a beautiful craft you will want to display each year and they can use it to tell the Easter story.

Empty Tomb Rolls - Make a yummy breakfast treat and show the wonder of the empty tomb at the same time.
Easter Story Stones - This is such a cute way to add a hands-on element to telling the Easter story.
Easter Story Snack Mix - Mix up some snacks for friends and add a printable label to tell them how each part of the snack represents a part of the Easter story.
