\"Sharing<\/p>\n

Last week over dinner, I asked my grandkids one of the questions from my newest set of Conversation Starters<\/a>: What is your favorite Easter tradition? Two of them gave the same answer — Resurrection Eggs — though they used different words to say as much.<\/p>\n

\"Resurrection<\/p>\n

The first proudly proclaimed, “I love when you use those numbered eggs to tell us the Easter story.” And his little brother echoed the sentiment: “I like cracking open those story eggs and seeing the clay stuff inside.”<\/p>\n

I’ve been telling and retelling the “Easter Egg Gospel” for decades now. First with my children. Now with my grands. You can purchase your own set of ready-made Resurrection Eggs<\/a>, but I opted to make my own.<\/p>\n

I started with the standard dozen, but as my family grew, so did the number of details I included in my gospel telling. I expanded from 12 eggs to 18, then eventually to 24. Considering the fact we just had our 13th grandchild, my story eggs may need to expand again before I’m done.<\/p>\n

Sharing the Gospel with Resurrection Eggs<\/h2>\n

But here’s what my set of gospel eggs look like now. If you have a big family (or teach a Sunday School class or host a neighborhood egg hunt), you may want an expanded set of DIY Resurrection Eggs<\/a> yourself. (If so, scroll down for tips on making your own.)<\/p>\n

When telling the story, I let each child crack open an egg. Then I ask a lot of questions to keep everyone engaged:<\/p>\n
