Easter is mere days away, and it seems everyone is in preparation mode. In this household there will be gift baskets, egg decorating, a special dinner menu, and we’ll be attending the (extra packed) church service this weekend.
All things I look forward to, but I’ve also been in search of ways to better emphasize the importance of this holiday to my girls.

Don’t get me wrong, bunnies and treats and egg hunts are fun, but as a celebration of the day Jesus rose from the dead, Easter means so much more. It symbolizes forgiveness, rebirth, and God’s saving power!!
It’s a time to contemplate, mourn and rejoice, and this year my girls and I have been reading My Easter Bible Storybook by Precious Moments to help illustrate what this day is truly all about.
Our family has been fans of Precious Moments for a while now. Not only are their trademark, big-eyed characters adorable, but their musical options and Book of Prayer have long been staples at bed-time.
My Easter Bible Storybook has been a great addition because it shares biblical truths in a simplified and clear manner, without dumbing it down. The colorful illustrations are eye-catching and hold the attention for both my 2 and 5 year old, and my eldest likes memorizing the prayers, songs, and verses we read each night.
They also enjoy reading to each other, and having an audience of some cuddly friends too!
In this case Luffie Lamb and Floppy Bunny were invited to hear about Jesus, because, as my children remind me, “God made everything, even the animals too!”
These sweet additions are plush and so soft, and even though they already played with them briefly, you better believe they’re going back in their baskets for Sunday! Ha!
Precious Moments has a great selection of keepsakes and special mementos for every occasion, and I’m glad we decided to add My Easter Bible Storybook to our growing collection.
It’s so important to show our children the love that Jesus has for us and the sacrifice and resurrection that made ALL the difference!
Hallelujah!!!
We’ll be reading this book and playing with our new stuffed friends year round, not just during this season, and I hope we always remember to reflect on the grace, mercy and love of our Savior!

They are too sweet! That book is so special! I grew up with precious moments!! I’d love to pass those memories down to my girls as well. I have such fond memories of the books and he figurines. I was introduced to them by my grandmother who passed away of breast cancer so it’s extra special.
That’s really, really special Jamie!!! Thanks for sharing that sweet memory and have a happy Easter!
We go to church first thing! We have an egg hunt with family then we have Easter dinner! I have some precious moments and they are the cutest! I got one to resemble my daughter. ❤

When I was about 8 or 9, I would ride my bike to the local Hallmark store and I would just look at all the Precious Moments. I didn’t have any, but I loved looking at them! The Bible is perfect for little ones.
I loved admiring them at the Hallmark Store too!! What a sweet memory!!

Patricia

Adorable giveaway! I was always a huge fan of Precious Moments growing up and now we have one of their bibles for my two year old, but it is a little too mature for her right now. This Easter story would be perfect to start introducing her to the Easter story and helping our 4 year old dive in deeper.
Thanks Brittany!! And, yes! I love that this book keeps the attention of both girls, even my 2 yo!!
Blessings,
Patricia
Excited to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior on Sunday! 8:30 service at church, and then we’ll head to my parents’ for a delicious lunch!!

My mom LOVES Precious Moments everything so we had a lot of in my home growing up. For Easter, we also try to remind our kids that it’s not about the bunnies and the egg hunts and the candy, but the sacrifice of our Savior. We’re trying to teach them that the things they see at Easter are symbols of something bigger and more important.
Yes, exactly!!
I hope you had a sweet time!!!
Blessings!
Patricia
Oh my goodness they are such big girls reading on he couch! Sounds like you guys had a lovely Easter too. ♥️
