Telling the little ones
When we were raising our children, we did not "do" Easter with baskets, bunnies, egg rolls, egg hunts, etc. Yes, we did get new clothes if we could afford them but sometimes they simply wore what they had at the time or hand-me-downs. We stressed to them that Jesus our Saviour had died for our sins, that he did so on a cross and it was bad, that he was buried in a tomb and that the stone was rolled away. We told them about the angel that appeared. We explained to the best of their understanding that Jesus was alive forevermore. Also, that because of Jesus' sacrificial death, burial, and resurrection we, too, could have new life. That our sins could be covered by his sacrifice if we but trusted Him and repented. Of course, explanation of any of this has to be age appropriate at the time for children.
