12 Easter Scriptures for Kids (+printable cards)
It’s starting to feel like springtime outside, and that means it’s Easter season! While we love the Easter eggs, baby chicks, and Easter baskets, this day is about so much more.
On Easter, we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. As a mama, I love seeing the excitement on my boys’ faces when they get some fun candy in their Easter basket or go on an egg hunt with friends.
But I want them to understand the Easter story and how it’s so much more. These Easter Scriptures for kids are a great way to share the story of Jesus’ death on the cross and resurrection.

The world uses Easter to celebrate spring and new life. But we can use it as at time to teach our kids about the new birth we have because of Christ Jesus!
While the Easter Bunny is hippity-hopping down the bunny trail. let’s help our kids know that Jesus is the true reason we celebrate Easter.
