Easter Jelly Beans:
Red is for the blood Jesus shed
Green is for new life ahead
Black is for the sins we've made
White is for the grace He gave
Yellow is for the sun so bright
Orange is for the edge of night
Purple is for His hour of sorrow
Pink is for our new tomorrow
Resurrection Rolls:
marshmallow / Jesus purity
cinn/sugar / his body anointed with oil & spices
crescent roll / cloth jesus was wrapped in
Seal well / tomb was sealed
oven / tomb/3 days
roll is empty / empty tomb
Resurrection Eggs:
Day 1: Palm branch. I just cut up an old fake ivy leaf that I had around the house. Not sure why I have fake ivy as a decoration, but if you do, cut it up for your palm branch.
Day 2: Perfume. If you have a small bottle of perfume, use it. If you don’t, steal one from a friend, like I did. (Thanks, Dominique). Or, you can just put some perfume on a cotton ball.
Day 3: Towel. Use a small baby’s washcloth, or I just cut a piece from an old towel.
Day 4: Little piece of bread. Some people use a piece of chex cereal, but we always have bread. Once you put it in the egg, it gets hard quickly…it doesn’t mold.
Day 5: 3 dimes because Judas was paid 30 silver coins when he betrayed Jesus. Sword can be made with cardboard and foil, or you can borrow one from an action figure.
Day 6: Crown of thorns. I used a rose branch and twisted it into a circle. (Again, thanks Dominique)
Day 7: Dice (crazy, but I didn’t have any) and for the clothes I just cut a little robe out of a piece of material.
Day 8: Cross and nails. I just used 2 little sticks and bound them together with thread/floss.
Day 9: Sponge with a little vinegar. I soaked it in vinegar and then squeezed it out. The smell remains, but your sponge doesn’t stay wet.
Day 10: Spices. Use whatever whole spices you have. Cloves, Cinnamon sticks…
Day 11: Rock. Any small pebble will work…even one from a fake flower arrangement. This has taught me I need some decorations that aren’t fake greenery!
