Easter Craft - Day 4 - Jesus is Alive!

Today was a quick and easy Easter craft.  We needed to do something fast today with a 9 month only finally getting her second tooth.  She was up a lot last night so everyone is a little tired today in our house.

For today's craft, we decided to talk about how Jesus died on the cross and how he rose again. Jesus died for our sins and rose again so that we can have everlasting life.  Alex has been talking about these things in his Sunday School class and he likes to talk about Jesus.  He is always wanting to go back and work on the letter J because we talked about J is for Jesus that week.


For today's craft, I cut a circle out of construction paper for the ground.  I cut our three crosses out of brown paper and used some scrap green paper for the grass.  We wrote Jesus is alive across the bottom of the circle.  Alex then glued the three crosses at the top of the circle.  We tried really hard to get the crosses to stand up but they just kept falling.  Alex finally glued to grass to the paper.  I think this was he favorite part.

Instead of cutting out a white circle, a paper plate would work great.  I just did not have any paper plates in the pantry.  I am all about adapting and using what you have.  As a former elementary teacher, I have tons of construction paper so that is always easy to grab and use for any craft.  The important thing about the craft is learning about the meaning behind Easter and talking to our children about not just the fun egg hunts.  Although I cannot wait for our Easter egg hunt on Saturday with my two and my two nephews.  I love watching them all play together!
