From making crafts, to cooking, to sharing stories, there are many religious and non-religious ways to celebrate Easter together.
Grab a few Eater baskets and take your kids to a local Easter Egg Hunt. In fact, community events like these are great opportunities to invite friends and neighbors--or even your co-parent--along. (And don't forget to bring your camera!)
Share the story of Easter with your children as you make these delicious cookies. Each part of the recipe will instruct you to read a different verse telling the story of Easter.
These breakfast treats are so yummy, and because the finished product is empty inside, they also illustrate the message of Easter.
There are lots of ways you can share the Easter story with your children. You can begin simply by telling the story from your heart. Then, if you wish, you can also read the story together directly out of the Bible. Additional ways of sharing the Easter story include reading
children's books about Easter and
watching an Easter movie together. In time these can become traditions you'll look forward to sharing again each year.
If you haven't found a "home church" for your family, Easter is a great time to begin looking. Start by asking around for recommendations. In addition, check the religion section of your local newspaper to find out what types of services are available. Don't limit yourself to the church buildings you see driving around town, as lots of congregations meet in alternative locations, such as school auditoriums. In addition, make a list of things you're looking for, such as children's programs, an active youth group, or a
single parent support group. This will help you find a church family that suits your needs.
