As you spend time with your children this Easter, sharing with them the story of Jesus and the significance of His resurrection, remember that it doesn’t have to be boring, in fact, it should be fun and interactive. So, rather than just telling your children about Easter, get hands-on and show them. Here are five fun activities to try with your kids this Easter:

1.) Jelly Bean Prayer Box
