I would love to enter this contest to expose my kids to to truth of Easter in a more kid friendly way. I know my 4yo son is now fascinated with the idea of rising from the dead and asks me if God ever lets the birds and fish come back to life. My favorite Easter tradition is the big family meal. Since getting married and moving away, I have missed it terribly, but this year my sister and her family moved to our town and we were able to have the big egg hunt in my backyard and watch our kids running around looking for the "special egg" that says "Jesus Loves You" The California church I used to go to used the resurrection eggs with the kids, but I don’t believe that our Arizona church did.

We went over Easter, so we used the eggs with adults in English classes. It is an incredible way to share the truth of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ- and it doesn't really matter what the age! I used them again on Easter sunday when I did the children's message during the church service. God has definitely gifted me with a desire to teach kids, but I don't have the same confidence with adults! So, even though I was teaching the kids, I was aware of the 100 or so adults who were watching! It was great to have something so simple to work through and for those adults who were they that do not know Christ, it may have been the thing that made sense. All that to say- the eggs are a great tool in sharing the gospel! May God continue to receive the glory!!!! My first experience using resurrection eggs was on a mission trip to Japan.

We had the Resurrection Eggs at our last Bible Study and the kids did great answering all the quesions, but my daughter only 2 and the youngest had a difficult time. Maybe the video would be more helpful to someone so young. This is an awesome giveaway.

The kids in Children's church were entralled & I've never seen them sit so still through a story. I'll have to check out the preschool book. That sounds like a great resource. We colored eggs @ Grandma Voth's & never did it @ home this year. The kids would love to color eggs, even though Easter is officially over. Great idea.
