Christian Easter Crafts – Resurrection Gardens

Why do we celebrate Easter? As Christians, we celebrate Easter because it recognizes the RESURRECTION of Jesus. Jesus was killed by crucifixion on a Friday (Good Friday) and then actually came back to life on the following Sunday (Easter.) Easter is often adorned with bunnies, eggs, and pretty dresses, but there are many ways we can still incorporate the “cute” things of Easter by not forgetting the reason for this season.

Before you get started, be sure to save this Easter Games List PDF for gatherings large and small, family Easter parties, youth groups, neighborhood playdates and more. See more Easter Games for Kids.

January 4, 2022 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Easter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

Tell the Easter story to kids with these easy-to-read Easter Bible Verses printable PDF. Download 40 short Easter scripture cards to ready daily with your family. Read in the ERV translation, they make understanding the resurrection of Jesus simple and clear.

If you’ve been a Christian awhile, you likely know the story of Jesus’s life and death. Sometimes knowing the story to well, makes it a challenge to know where to begin.

For our family’s next set of scripture cards, I wanted to focus on a joyful season. While there is mourning in the story of the death of Christ, there is joy in his resurrection.

In order for these cards to meet the needs of all our family, I focused on the translation. In these ERV (easy-to-read) Easter Bible Verses for Kids, the Easter story is told in a format children can follow along and understand.

Easter Bible Verses for Kids

What makes these 40 cards set apart. These Easter scripture cards are in the ERV translation. The easy-to-read Easter bible verses for kids clearly explain the Easter Story. They focus on the life of Jesus, his death, resurrection of Christ, and the Gospel message.

The main focus in the forty cards for Easter are Christ being raised from the dead and accepting Christ. There is very brief focus on the death of Christ.

Key People In the Easter Story

In understanding the Easter story, share with your child some of the main characters.

Jesus – The son of God. Rose from the dead on the third day.
Judas – Betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.
Thomas – One of Jesus’s followers. Did not believe Jesus rose from the dead until he saw and felt his wounds.
Mary Magdalene – A friend of Jesus. One of the first to see the tomb was empty.
Disciples – Also known as the 12 Apostles or Jesus’s followers.
Pontius Pilate – The governor who gave permission to execute Jesus of Nazareth in Jerusalem.
Soldiers – Responsible for Jesus’s death. Also guarded the tomb where Jesus was buried.

You can explain these characters to your kids before sharing the Easter scripture verses.

Short Easter Bible Verses

In this Easter Bible Verse Bundle are forty scripture cards to explain the Easter story.

These ERV story sequencing cards are grouped to give a brief history of Jesus and share about his betrayal, his death, and give living hope in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Lastly, in summary, the set include the message of the cross. These bible also include Bible verses that summarize the Gospel and lead followers to accept Jesus as your savior.

About Jesus

1. Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection. I am life. Everyone who believes in me will have life, even if they die. And everyone who lives and believes in me will never really die… do you believe this?” John 11:25-26

2. “Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God. You are the one who was coming to the world.” John 11:27

3. Some of the people were walking ahead of Jesus. Others were walking behind him. They all shouted, “…God bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Praise to God in heaven!” Matthew 21:9

Jesus is Betrayed

4. In the evening Jesus was at the table with the twelve followers. They were all eating. Then Jesus said, “Believe me when I say that one of you twelve here will hand me over to my enemies.” The followers were very sad to hear this. Each one said, “Lord, surely I am not the one!” Matthew 26: 20-22

5. One of the twelve followers went to talk to the leading priests. This was the follower named Judas Iscariot. He said, “I will hand Jesus over to you. What will you pay me for doing this?” The priests gave him 30 silver coins. Matthew 26:14-15

6. Jesus stood before Pilate, the governor, who asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered, “Yes, that’s right.” Matthew 27:11

7. The Jewish leaders answered… “he must die because he said he is the Son of God.” John 19:7

8. Pilate wanted to please the people… he told the soldiers to beat Jesus with whips. Then he handed him over to the soldiers to be killed on a cross. Mark 15:15

Jesus Dies on the Cross

9. Then they made a crown from thorny branches and put it on his head, and they put a stick in his right hand. Then they bowed before him, making fun of him. They said, “We salute you, king of the Jews!” Matthew 27:29

10. The soldiers nailed Jesus to a cross. Matthew 27:35

11. Jesus shouted, “Father, I put my life in your hands!” After Jesus said this, he died. Luke 23:46

Scriptures on Death, Burial and Resurrection

12. In the place where Jesus was killed on the cross, there was a garden. In the garden there was a new tomb. No one had ever been buried there before. The men put Jesus in that tomb. John 19: 41-42

13. Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb. She saw that the large stone was moved away from the entrance. John 20:1

14. So she ran to Simon Peter and the other follower… She said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they put him.” John 20:2

15. So Peter and the other follower started going to the tomb. They were both running, but the other follower ran faster than Peter and reached the tomb first. John 20:3-4

16. He bent down and looked in. He saw the pieces of linen cloth lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter finally reached the tomb and went in. He saw the pieces of linen lying there. John 20:5-6

17. He saw what had happened and believed. John 20:8b

18. Mary stood outside the tomb, crying. While she was crying, she bent down and looked inside the tomb. John 20:11

19. She saw two angels dressed in white sitting where Jesus’ body had been. One was sitting where the head had been; the other was sitting where the feet had been. John 20:12

20. The angels asked Mary, “Woman, why are you crying?” Mary answered, “They took away the body of my Lord, and I don’t know where they put him.” John 20:13

21. When Mary said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there. But she did not know that it was Jesus. John 20:14

22. He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?” She thought he was the man in charge of the garden. So she said to him, “Did you take him away, sir? Tell me where you put him. I will go and get him.” John 20:15

23. Jesus said to her, “You don’t need to hold on to me! I have not yet gone back up to the Father. But go to my followers and tell them this: ‘I am going back to my Father and your Father. I am going back to my God and your God.’” John 20:17

24. Mary Magdalene went to the followers and told them, “I saw the Lord!” And she told them what he had said to her. John 20:18

25. The day was Sunday, and that same evening the followers were together. They had the doors locked because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing there among them. He said, “Peace be with you!” John 20:19

26. As soon as he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. When the followers saw the Lord, they were very happy. John 20:20

27. Thomas was one of the twelve (followers), but he was not with the other followers when Jesus came. John 20:24

28. They told him, “We saw the Lord.” Thomas said, “That’s hard to believe. I will have to see the nail holes in his hands, put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side. Only then will I believe it.” John 20:25

29. A week later the followers were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. The doors were locked, but Jesus came and stood among them. He said, “Peace be with you!” John 20:26

30. Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here. Look at my hands. Put your hand here in my side. Stop doubting and believe.” John 20:27

31. Thomas said to Jesus, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “You believe because you see me. Great blessings belong to the people who believe without seeing me!” John 20:28-29

32. These are written so that you can believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God. Then, by believing, you can have life through his name. John 20:31

Bible Verses About Inviting God into Your Life

33. The greatest love people can show is to die for their friends. John 15:13

34. Jesus said to the Jews who believed in him, “If you continue to accept and obey my teaching, you are really my followers.” John 8:31

35. God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life. John 3:16

36. All have sinned. When people sin, they earn what sin pays—death. But God gives his people a free gift—eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 3:23 & Romans 6:23

37. But Christ died for us while we were still sinners, and by this God showed how much he loves us. Romans 5:8

38. Christ died for our sins, as the Scriptures say; that he was buried and was raised to life on the third day. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

40. Go and make followers of all people in the world. Baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach them to obey everything that I have told you to do. You can be sure that I will be with you always. I will continue with you until the end of time.” Matthew 28:19-20

These short Easter bible verse cards can be used in a number of ways. Choose what is ideal for your family.

How to use Easter Bible Verse Cards

While the Easter story remains the same, the way the these bible verses about resurrection of Jesus are share can be different for each family. Take a look at the number of ways to use these Easter bible story cards.

Easter Bible Verse Countdown

Choose an arbitrary number and countdown the days until Easter. Just like Advent at Christmas, each day read a verse (or a few) to countdown to Easter Sunday.

Bible Verses for Easter Week

Holy Week, in the Christian church, is week between Palm Sunday and Easter. During this week, create a few nights of dinner discussion and review these bible verses for comfort, encouragement and (of course) hope – He is risen!

40 Days of Lent

Did you know that for many, the Lent season is technically 46 days? This is because Lent is recognized Monday through Saturday while each Sunday is considered a day of celebration. While you can decide how you split these 40 cards, use them as the 40 Lent Bible Verses for kids and the whole family. The simple Easter verses make this 40 day celebration very clear for kids to understand.

Making Cute Cupcakes For Kids with Fun Designs: Mom and Kids Bonding Time

If you are thinking of a fun way to spend time with your kids or planning to have a quality time with them on the weekend, then look no further. Nothing beats bonding with your children with a little baking fun. Not as complicated as making Easter Bunny Bread. Just making simple cupcakes so that the kids can join the fun.

Instead of laying around on the couch all day on movie marathons, doing something together in the kitchen is productive and really fun. You get to have your children learn a thing or two about baking and give them a sense of accomplishment once they see and taste the result of your teamwork.

For starters, I will give you two recipes for cupcakes. One is for oven cupcakes in which you can also use a convection oven, and one is for microwave cupcakes. And then, I’m going to provide you with instructions on how to decorate the cupcakes using fun ideas. Before you get started, also check out our Easter Resurrection Cupcakes. Both are very easy to do.

Give your kids some tasks along the way and make sure that they are hands-on with the decorating. Don’t forget to give them pointers about safety and sanitation.

Easy oven cupcake recipe

Ingredients

250g butter, unsalted
250g sugar
250g flour (self-raising)
4 medium-sized eggs
4 tbsp. milk
1 pinch of salt
2 12-cup muffin tray lined with paper cupcake cases

Directions

Preheat the oven to 200°C

In a large bowl, put the butter in to beat until it softens. Add the flour, sugar, salt, milk, and eggs. If you want to make chocolate cupcakes, use two tablespoons less flour and replace it with two tablespoons of cocoa powder. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth.

Use a spoon or an ice cream scoop to put a portion of the mixture to the paper cases. Make sure to put just the right amount each case to fill all the 24 cases.

Place the cupcakes in the oven and bake. After fifteen minutes, swap their places and bake for another three to seven minutes or until the cupcakes have light golden color.

Take them out of the oven and let the tray cool for a few minutes. Then take the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool. Now they are ready for the decorations.

But before we go to decorating, I’ll give you the recipe for microwave oven cupcakes.

Easy microwave cupcake recipe

This cupcake version is easier and faster to do. The challenge here is to be successful in preventing the kids from eating the ingredients before the cupcake gets done. You will see why soon enough.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons of full-fat vanilla or chocolate ice cream, depending on your preference of flavor. (I told you it is going to be a challenge for the kids not to eat it up)
2 tablespoons of cake flour
1/8 teaspoon of baking powder
Silicone cupcake molds

Directions

For starters, be sure to use cake flour and not all-purpose flour. It makes the cupcake drier and have a bread-like texture rather than cake.

Put all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk it until the batter is smooth. Make sure that there are no chunks of flour visible in the batter. Put it in two medium-size or four small-size cupcake molds. Put them in the microwave about thirty seconds. Set aside to cool and be ready for the decorations.

Here comes the fun part! I have three kinds of fun decorations to do with your kids. If you want to look for more, you can search fun and easy ideas here.

Rainbow Decoration

Everyone loves rainbows! Especially kids. This is very easy and fun to do.

Ingredients

Your favorite frosting
Blue food color
Rainbow berry candy belt (like Airheads Xtremes)
Small white marshmallow (optional)

Directions

First, put a few drops of blue food coloring to your frost. Mix and add until it reaches a pale blue color. Apply it on the cupcake.

Bend a rainbow berry candy belt and stick the ends to the frosting. You can add small marshmallows as clouds to the part where the candy sticks.

Your rainbow cupcake is done.

Bunny Decoration

This cupcake topping is a bit more challenging than the first one, but cuter as well. This is good for Easter or for kiddos who just can’t get enough of our furry little friends.

Ingredients

White frosting
Brown M&M’s minis
White marshmallows
Pink decorating sugar or pink sprinkles
Pink ball sprinkle
Black licorice laces

Directions

Put the white frosting over the cupcake. This will be your canvas for the bunny face

For the ears, cut a marshmallow in half. Add the pink sugar or sprinkle on the center area of the cut part avoiding edges. Do this on both of the marshmallow halves. Place them on the top part of the cupcake where the ears should be.

For the eyes, use the brown M&M’s minis and put them where the eyes should be.

For the nose, put the pink ball sprinkle on where the nose should be.

Use the black licorice laces for the whiskers. Put three on each side.

Your bunny should be looking at you right now with its cute chocolate eyes.

Mustache Decoration

If you want to let your kids give their good old dad a treat for father’s day or for his birthday, then this is an easy and fun thing to give him.

You actually have three options here. You can use toothpicks and construction paper, fondant and icing writers, or chocolate molds.

Ingredients

Frosting
Fondant, Chocolate mold, or construction paper and sticks
The mustache mold which you can download here from Queen.com

Directions

Put the frosting on top of your cupcake. You don’t have to download the mustache mold if you’re going to use the chocolate mold. Just put the mustache mold directly on the frosting.

If you prefer to use sticks and paper, print out the mustache mold, and put it on the construction paper. Cut away the mustache and put it on one end of the stick with glue. Make sure that the end won’t stick out on top of the mustache. Stick it on the cupcake.

If you’re going to use fondant, get black and white ones. Make small round white ones with the same diameter as the cupcake. This will be your canvas for the mustache. Use the printable mold as a pattern for the mustache using the black fondant. Cut it out using a paring knife or a kitchen shear.

Wait till daddy sees your masterpiece.

There you have it. Two easy recipes for cupcakes, and three easy decorating tips for you to choose from. This will definitely make your weekends fun and exciting.

Ready for the bunny to visit? Enjoy these Easter Hot Chocolate Bombs with marshmallows before he comes. Dip these hot cocoa bombs in warm milk and out pops mini fruit flavored marshmallows. Just like bunny tails, only rainbow style!

Easter Hot Chocolate Bombs

So we all know that hot cocoa bombs are all the rage right now. If you look on Pinterest, you will see so many different kinds, colors, and themes. We decided to get really creative recently and came up with some Easter Hot Chocolate Bombs!

These sweet treats are beautiful with all their bright colors. They are {almost} too pretty to eat, especially with those Spring themed sprinkles on top.

And they are delicious when dropped into a cup of warm milk. Rather than using your normal white marshmalllows, we filled our chocolate bombs with colorful, fruit-flavored marshmallows. It’s an extra treat, if you aren’t expecting that flavor.

Make a batch of these Easter Hot Chocolate Bombs for your kiddo’s Easter basket, or send them to school for a special treat for the teachers.

The best thing about these bombs is that they can be made any time of year, not just at Easter. You could make them for a unicorn themed party even!

Make sure you take a look at our other Hot Chocolate Bombs Recipes while you are here!

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

1 12-ounce package white chocolate chips
1 packet instant cocoa mix
1 cup mini fruit flavored (rainbow) marshmallows
¼ cup Spring sprinkles (mine are Great Value brand from Wal-Mart)
6 cups hot milk to make the bombs

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

First, place the white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate chips are fully melted.
Put a spoonful of melted chocolate inside one cup on the silicone mold and use the back of the spoon to spread the chocolate up the sides of the mold. Continue this process until all the molds are coated.
Set the remaining chocolate aside for sealing and decorating the bombs.
Allow the chocolate to set completely, around 2 to 3 hours. You can speed up the process by placing the chocolate in the refrigerator.
When the chocolate is set, remove each of the chocolate pieces from the mold. Add a small amount of instant hot cocoa mix to half the pieces and top the hot cocoa mix with marshmallows.
Reheat the chocolate in 15 second intervals until melted. Pick up an empty chocolate piece and dip the edges into the melted chocolate. Carefully place it on top of a filled piece and lightly press it into place. Use your finger to smooth melted chocolate around the seam. Continue until all the chocolate bombs are sealed.
Drizzle the chocolate over the top of the bombs and decorate with Spring sprinkles.
Allow the chocolate decorations to set before using, around 1 hour.
To make the hot chocolate bombs, place the bomb in the bottom of a mug. Pour one cup of hot milk over the top of the bomb to melt the chocolate. When the chocolate is completely melted, stir to combine.

With April Fool’s lying on Easter this year, enjoy this Easter April Fools’ Joke, grapes disguised as candy! A light-hearted and clean April Fools’ Prank Idea.

Easter April Fools’ Joke | April Fools’Day Candy

Hippity, hoppity, ~~Easter~~ April Fools’ Day is on its way….

Ready for some foolish, silly Easter fun? We have a very cute idea to celebrate both Easter and April Fools’ Day! Did you realize that this year, 2018, they both fall on the same day – April 1st. Well both Easter and April Fools’ are two of our most favorite holidays on Frugal Coupon Living. Have you seen our Innocent and Playful April Fools’ Prank Ideas? That being said, we knew we had to come up with something creative to merge the two holidays this year.

This Easter Sunday, unwrap some Easter chocolate and replace with grapes! This is a clean, bunny approved April Fools’ Prank Idea. Another way to take this idea the extra ~~mile~~ bunny run, is to place your wrapped foil grapes in Easter Eggs and send the kids on an Easter Egg Hunt. This is sure to buy you at least 20 minutes of sipping that mimosa. These treats won’t melt, even if you are experiencing a warm Easter Sunday.

Looking for more to do this Easter Sunday with the kids? Don’t forget our favorite Easter Food Craft Ideas for Kids.

Enjoy!

April Fools’ Day Candy

Supplies:

Directions:

Cut 2 ½” X 2 ½” squares from the foil. Cut out as many as you would like to make. Have one square per grape you intend to wrap.
Use the markers and color one side of the foil squares with Sharpie Markers and let dry for a few minutes.
Unwrap the Easter candy from the decorative foil, be careful not to rip the wrappers. Flatten them out a little so the wrinkles aren’t too bad.
Using the foils from the purchased candy and the foils you made with Sharpie markers, wrap one grape into each foil. They should look like the little chocolate eggs in the foils you can buy at Easter time.
Put them in a dish (or Easter Egg) and serve them.
Everyone will think they are getting a chocolate candy, but they will be unwrapping a grape.
Now just say “April Fools!”

Optional: Place chocolate covered grapes in plastic Easter eggs.
