A Little Lent and Easter for Kids

Hard to believe we are in our second week of Lent.  Sad to think I haven't done anything with the kids!  We have a devotional some where that we have use in the past, but this year I am bearly keeping up with my own devotions.  And I think that our cruise at the end of the month has over shadowed our preparing for Easter vs Vacation.  I have a few ideas in mind to help get our kids ready for Easter.

Things I want to do

• Resurrection Cookies-  Faithful Provisions has a wonderful step by step how to do this.
• Holy Week banner
• Resurrection Eggs
• Blessing Baskets- we did this a few years ago, we put together some baskets with some fun stuff in them and handed them out to various people.  
• Jelly beans poem.  We did this before and handed it out to people.

I also collected some great Lent and Easter ideas over at Pinterest.  Check me out.
