Preschool Easter Activities the Whole Family Will Enjoy

Enjoy these preschool Easter activities as a family as you learn more about spring, Jesus, and the real meaning of Easter!

Easter Sunday will soon be upon us, and many of you have probably been discussing with your children all the new life you’re seeing around you this time of year.

In our area, we’re finding new flowers and buds, animals such as groundhogs and birds are coming out to scavenge the acorns in our yard, and the weather is getting brighter and warmer. It’s exciting and invigorating!

For those of you who are Christ-followers, you may also have been discussing the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus as Easter Sunday approaches. WE certainly have been.

I have been gathering ideas from around the web and hope to do a few of these activities with my kids for fun.

We’ll also continue the conversation about new life, Jesus, and how the two are related…..and what that means for those of us who come to know Him.

I hope that you and your family will also enjoy these Easter activities together!
