The magic of Easter

*I was waiting to publish this post because the pictures that go with it are on my broken phone. I was really hoping to salvage at least some of the pictures...but no such luck.:(

We've all seen the ADORABLE idea and super cute Easter/Spring tradition. of planting jellybeans with your kiddos, which then "grow" into lollipops. I really wanted to try it out with my class this year, but wanted to incorporate the story of Easter and Christ's resurrection with it.

This is what I came up with:

A Magical Easter
Easter is  special, yes it's true!
Jesus died and then rose, just like new!
We are all saved by God's grace,
And one day soon, we will look upon His face.
I am here to remind you,
Of His light and truth.
Plant these magic jelly beans,
Red, yellow, purple and green.
And when your lollipops grow,
You will surely know,
Jesus loves us, Everyone,
And He is God's only begotten Son.

Love,
The Easter Bunny

The children found this poem, attached to a baggie of jellybeans, on the table when they came in from recess. We went outside and 'planted' the jellybeans and then during art time, the Easter Bunny, (Thank-you, Erin!!), put lollipops in their place. I hope you all had a beautiful Easter!
