I
have been scouring Pinterest for MONTHS trying to find inspiration for
Christ-centered Easter décor. It is
super hard to find! Everything out there is about involving kids in Easter and
how to teach them the real meaning. There was nothing that works before kids. I think during Easter we do need a reminder (especially adults) of what this season
is about. We can get caught up in the super cute plates, bunnies and Easter egg
topiaries (me, that’s me) that we forget!
So
y’all, the other day when I was trying one more time before I really had to
have my Easter décor up, I stumbled upon The
Small Seed and a series they have called Traditions of Faith. Basically they talk about real family
traditions they have during each holiday that incorporate God and remind us of
the real meaning. For Easter, one of the
writers wrote about an Easter Tree [click here
to see the post]. It was absolutely
perfect! It is a tree that you decorate
with ornaments, scripture and words that remind us of Christ. The words take us
through his whole life, ending with his death and then resurrection. On the
blog, they set it up to involve children. They have them hunt for an Easter egg
containing an ornament with an accompanying scripture each day of the week
leading up to Easter. The kids find the
egg and then the family sits down to talk about that part of His life. It is
super cool and so easy! Below are
pictures of how I used their super precious idea and a couple other Easter
decorations I put up.
Here is the strip of paper with the bible verse on it.
The "He is Risen" sign from The Small Seed and and amazingly fragrant Easter Lilly from a boutique flower shop a few doors down from our house.
Here's the whole set up. Sorry for the poor light (and the crooked lampshade)
This "Happy Easter" banner is from Target! It was only around $7!! Super cute and super easy!
