Of course spending time with loved ones is the very best way to do this, but when distance is a factor, it’s not entirely possible to catch the next flight cross-country. Sending a bouquet of Easter flowers, a plush bunny, or a nice Easter card is a thoughtful sentiment to let your family know that you’re thinking about them on this glorious holiday!

Easter Poems
Poems are always fun and kids seem to love them! Teach them some of these!
Cottontail Groove
A wiggle, a hop! A big bunny ear flop!
This is a bunny dance, better tighten your pants!
Get in a line and hop, hop hop!
A shake, a move, it’s the cottontail groove!
He is Risen
He is risen! He’s alive!
Check the tomb, he’s not inside!
He made a promise and was crucified,
He showed no fear as He needn’t hide!
Jesus Christ, he told us so!
Little did we believe, little did we know
that He spoke the truth with each word!
Now He is risen, His voice is heard!
Easter Egg Hunt
One egg, two eggs, three eggs, four!
Find some eggs and search for more!
Six eggs, seven eggs, eight eggs, nine!
Open them up to see what’s inside!
Will it be jelly beans?
Will it be candy?
Will it be money or something dandy?
Whatever’s inside, join in the fun!
When they say “go!” you run, run, run!
Untitled by Charles Wesley
Christ the Lord is risen today,
Sons of men and angels say.
Raise your joys and triumphs high;
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply.
