Easter is almost here! It’s the time of year when we celebrate our Lord Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross for us (we should be celebrating him all year, right?). The Easter Bunny doesn’t come to our house and there will be no Easter baskets this year (in the past I would make each child a basket with candy and a Bible, or Bible storybook, and a couple small toys, from us, not the Easter Bunny), instead we are really going to focus on what Easter is all about. 
I want my kids to know the real reason we celebrate Easter – Jesus dying on the cross so we can have eternal life! So, I plan to do some fun activities and make some yummy treats throughout the month of March that point to and focus on our Lord. I plan on using some of these crafts that I found online and thought I would share some of my good finds with you. I’m excited to share the following Faith-Based Easter Crafts with you.
Be sure to check out all of our cross-themed crafts!
Faith-Based Easter Crafts
Coin-Covered Cross from Mom On Timeout
When Jesus died on that cross, he paid the penalty for all our sins and by doing so, he purchased eternal life for all who believe in him. These Coin-Covered Crosses are a beautiful way to illustrate the price he paid and the variations are endless. Because the coins are metallic, the Coin-Covered Cross looks so beautiful when the sun shines on it.
Sunset Resurrection Paper Craft from My Joy-Filled Life
This is a super simple paper craft that your youngest kids can do and enjoy. It’s simple, yet meaningful and turns out beautifully.
