Christian grand/parents...
Jesus came to Earth to take the punishment for our sin so we wouldn't have to. He was terribly crucified, died, rose from the dead and ascended back into Heaven.
And we let this greatest of miracles and the greatest day of the Christian faith get washed out by easter bunnies and and candy eggs?
No more! This year, lets make a Christian Easter basket to instill the true meaning of Easter to our grand/kids.
The Talking Jesus Doll
Get this adorable 12" plush Jesus because it speaks 10 Bible verses when you press his hand. From the Lord's Prayer to John 3:16 to the Golden Rule. Small Christian family family business. Perfect centerpiece. From jesusdoll.com.
The Story of Jesus Book
Most Jesus books start with the manger and end at the cross. This book tells the whole story - from the beginning to the end of the age. Rhyming full color board book; cutely illustrated, scripture references - and did we say it rhymes!! Also from jesusdoll.com.
Chocolate Cross
Kids love candy crosses as much sa they love candy bunnies. So do this instead! We love this Russell Stover cross. Its big enough but not too big. Lots of places to get but we got ours from CSSTL. Fast shipping and legit operation.
Jellybeans
We can still have fun, right? Jelly beans are good when they tell the story of Jesus. Each color represents something related to Jesus. Great way to talk to your kids about the real Easter. These are from scripturecandy.com but the best deal was at Amazon.
Lollipops
Also from scriputrecandy.com, these lolipops have a Bible verse on each wrapper. How can you beat that? Available at lots of places, but we did Amazon.
Jesus Stickers
Stickers are fun, last a long time and don't contribute to diabetes or cavities. A cheap way to spruce up any basket.
Calvary Crosses
We love doing 3 of these because it symbolizes the 3 crosses on Calvary. A way to teach your kids about Jesus.
Easter Grass
We recommend crinkled paper because its biodegradable. We got ours at Hobby Lobby with the basket for color coordination. On sale now.
The Basket
Last but not least! We love this one from Hobby Lobby because its pretty big and looks great. On sale at time of publishing.
