Gospel Centered Easter Ideas for Kids

I recently asked on instagram for gospel-centered Easter ideas for kids, and so many of you sent me so many wonderful ideas.

Below you’ll find a round-up of some of our favorite gospel-centered Easter ideas and books to help you get started in celebrating Easter with your kids.

Easter is about the joy that awaits us and the joy we can experience today.
