Paint the Story of Easter


 

Simple wooden crosses from the craft store were decorated by my children.  I gave each child a limited palette of craft paints.  The three palettes were warm, cool, and neutral colors.  That way if they mixed the colors they would not get a yucky color.  Then I let them paint!  The finished crosses told the story of Easter in a beautiful way.  Jesus came to earth (neutral color cross), He died on the cross for our sins (warm color cross), and He conquered death and ascended into heaven (cool color cross).

We hung these three crosses over the door into our kitchen to be a daily reminder of the faith that we believe.  Check out Dueteronomy 11: 18-20.
