Here are some wonderful ideas for purposeful holiday activities for families!
Make your own Resurrection Eggs – we purchased a set like these growing up, but how much more fun and frugal to make your own!
Hot Cross Buns recipe – Traditional bread for Good Friday, with the cross as a symbol of Christ and the resurrection, in a healthy fashion! Fun baking project with kids.
How to Naturally Dye Eggs – ideas for dying eggs naturally!
Easter Cookies – cookies for easter with a purpose!
I have been seeking savvy suggestions on natural health and think that your site is a great resource. It is hard to find good recommendations on the Internet, but I think I can put this to use! If you have any more good suggestions, please let me know. Thanks a million!
If you’ve got kiddos who are allergic to nuts, here’s another cool Resurrection Sunday treat you can make (not very nutritious, but a special once in a while treat
). Purchase some frozen bread dough and regular sized marshmallows. After dough is thawed, wrap some dough around a marshmallow as you would for making dinner rolls. Bake according to dough packaging until golden. Cool. When rolls are done, the marshmallow will have melted and left an “empty tomb” inside of the roll.
Wow, I just read your posting and noticed you had mentioned the Easter cookies idea. I found that recipe in a magazine of mine last year and just posted about it on my blog. What a great way to teach children the Easter story!
I never even heard of Resurrection eggs. New one for me!! But it gave me an idea for Sunday school class!! So thanks for that tip!!
Do you know where one could find a rooster feather tho? (no roosters around here, city people) Or a possible/suitable substitute? I have one goose down pillow! (I’m trying to weed them out, I found some AWESOME pillows on overstock.com)
I would imagine you could use any feather! Use what you have.
