Fun for Easter Week

A guilt-free, clean-slate stay-cation celebratory Easter week ahead! We’ll enjoy some Easter traditions and add in a few other activities from this list:

• All of our favorite Easter resources: resurrection rolls, box of repentances and more

• Make a cross with chalk pastels (this tutorial is for oil pastels but it also works wonderfully with chalk)

Of course we made our own variation.

• Make some Oreo truffle Easter eggs (allergy-friendly with the right white chocolate). Photo credit: Kraft

• Write letters to each other.

Up from the grave He arose, With a mighty triumph o’er His foes, He arose a Victor from the dark domain, And He lives forever, with His saints to reign. He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!

• Create a backyard habitat with suggestions from Handbook of Nature Study’s April newsletter.
• Spelling with Bananagrams.
• Go to the library.
• Make a few teacher or Mother’s Day gifts.

• Make a Sunflower Peeps cake or some Peeps smores.

• Go strawberry picking at the local farm with our homeschool group and then create some pastel strawberries.
• Take an Easter nature walk with a free printable from Our Journey Westward.
• Enjoy any of the fun ideas pinned on Easter/Spring or Celebrate Spring.

I know we won’t get to necessarily enjoy all of this but definitely a celebratory week. Counting the gifts of Holy week and…

• marking attendance for our March homeschool and realizing we only have 25 official days left!
• new buzz cut on a big boy
• sisters, swinging high. Eldest and youngest girl. Talking laughing.
• trees bursting with spring blossoms – white and pink dogwood, cherry trees.
• rose bushes blooming – you’d think it was Mother’s Day!
• me and three high school friends having cheesecake tonight! The cheesecake quartet.
• a wonderful provision of curriculum that came with winning a bloggy review contest.
• Victory in Jesus.

Counting #3084- 4000.
