Easter Suggestions to do with your Grandkids

Are you going to share the real meaning of why we celebrate Easter with your grandkids this year? Let’s make Easter a special celebration of the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ for our grandkids.

Here are a few suggestions:

• Send your grandchildren an Easter greeting card with a Bible verse and/or a note that you are praying for them. Grandkids always enjoy getting mail from their grandparents.

• Send a CARE package: Easter egg coloring kit, Easter craft, Easter paper plates, napkins, and cups for a family dinner or a storybook with the true meaning of Easter. Of course, Easter would not be complete without some traditional candy.
• Email an electronic Easter card.
• Check out Pinterest for ideas.
• Send them Resurrection eggs which you can purchase at your local Christian bookstore or online at http://www.christianbook.com.
• Make Resurrection Rolls with the grandkids. I posted the recipe in my blog last week.

Would you share some of the things you have done with your grandkids to teach them the real meaning of Easter in the comments below the blog?

I have developed thirty-one “Scriptures to Pray for Grandchildren” that many grandparents have found helpful to pray for my grandchildren. Join our mailing list on the right side of this website for updated blogs and grandparenting suggestions and I will send you a free downloadable copy of “Thirty-one Scriptures to Pray for your Grandchildren”.
