Jesus Christ was Resurrected (Easter)
Purpose and Preparation:
Jesus Christ, our Savior, died for us. He was resurrected 3 days later. This is an important part of Heavenly Father’s plan, and it is important your child learns this. Easter has turned into more of a commercial day, and this lesson reminds us of the real reason we celebrate Easter.
"He is our King, our Lord, our Master, the living Christ, who stands on the right hand of His Father. He lives! He lives, resplendent and wonderful, the living Son of the living God. Of this we bear solemn testimony this day of rejoicing, this Easter morning, when we commemorate the miracle of the empty tomb, in the name of Him who rose from the dead, even the Lord Jesus Christ, amen. " - Gordon B Hinckley

Activity: Dye Eggs!
This is a fun Easter Tradition, especially for young children. While you are coloring the eggs it would be a great time to work on learning colors - you can even mix colors and see what colors they make. Another fun thing that younger kids really like are stickers!
