Scripture Easter Egg Carton

Our ward did this for the primary kids this year. I thought it was a creative idea, I hope they don't mind me using it! I am always looking for somthing spiritual to use during holidays.

Basically, they had a carton full of plastic easter eggs for each child. The eggs were numbered 1-12 with permanent marker. The kids walked around the table finding the items to put in their eggs.

They were given a couple of papers one with scriptures on it, and one that read this:

Make sure that each egg corresponds with the correlating scripture:

1. Sacrament Cup

2. 30 Dimes

3. Piece of rope

4. Piece of soap

5. red Fabric

6. Toothpick Cross

7. Dice

8. Small pebbles

9. White Gauze

10. Rock

11. Spices

12. Nothing!

Cut out each scripture and put it in each corresponding egg as well.

(The scriptures were all typed out for the kids, however, I am just going to write where you can find the scripture!)

1. Matthew 26: 39

2. Matthew 26: 14-15

3. Matthew 27: 1-2

4. Matthew 27: 24-26

5. Matthew 27: 28-30

6. Matthew 27: 31-32

7. Matthew 27: 35-36

8. Matthew 27: 50-51, 54

9. Matthew 27: 58-60
