Easter was calm, we are not home as you might know by now. We have been in Costa Rica for six months, so everything has been harder in terms of trying to make special projects for special celebrations. But coloring is always an easy choice and the girls have colored away! I have made sure I always carry with me a block of white paper, and enough crayons, coloring pencils and water colors as they need. This has been a life-saver!
You know every time I read them Bible stories, I think that nothing will stick, that mine are words gone with the wind. But not so, the wonderful stories of the Bible do stick! Every time we are together and I share a special story, it does remain there somewhere. And like a seed it takes hold of their heart, then one day without me noticing it bursts into life!
These pictures are inspired by stories we have read last year, and Gospels they heard at Holy Mass. Our kids are listening! Yes they listen, they remember and the Holy Spirit is there working within their hearts!
We give our time, we give our love, we give our best....God does the rest!
Here are some of our favourite Easter projects:
For Lent we love to do Pysanky Eggs. There are some designs that are not so hard, some are ok for children 5 and over if you supervise. My daughter loved making them, she could not get enough of them! And then you can decorate the house for Easter in a very creative, colourful and personal way!
We also found this craft in Pinterest. You can get shaving cream mix it with glue and add food colouring. The use it to decorate an egg on paper. The kids will love it and they will spend a long time in a project that will bring out their creativity!
Have fun and remember : Homeschool, it will always be worth your effort!!
