Around Easter one of our favorite activities is going through our Resurrection eggs. My girls will ask to do them numerous times a day! Well at a regular price of $15-$20 for a set it can be an expensive purchase.

I recently spoke at a Mom’s group (SPOTS) in Columbia and going with the theme of saving money that day they had a great make your Resurrection eggs activity. I quickly asked if I could share it!!

What you will need:

• 5 plastic eggs of various colors
• Picture of a donkey (print one from your computer)
• Goldfish cracker, or other cracker your child likes to eat
• 2 small nails
• Small rock (grab one from the yard)

Hopefully you should have most of the items already so if you have to buy the eggs the whole activity should cost around $1.

Now, download the scripture and story about each egg and have fun. If your family is like ours you might want to make a set for each kid. They love to open the eggs themselves and eventually will love tell you the story.

If you do have to buy eggs and have a lot more than you need, check out this list of 50 uses for plastic Easter eggs.

Thanks to Mimi at Shandon Baptist for letting me share her guide!
