The Easter story in the New Testament is filled with the senses–strong-smelling perfume poured at Jesus’ feet, bitter vinegar pushed to Jesus’ mouth, sharp crown of thorns and darkness covering the earth. This series will cover ten activities based on the five senses. Each activity will be an experience, a craft or some reminder to keep in our house during the days and weeks leading up to Easter Sunday.
I pray these activities will help your children immerse themselves in the story and experience Jesus for themselves!
