As a children’s minister I’m always looking for new resources and tools to share with families, especially as we approach the Easter season and lots of visitors will be coming. This year, along with the “Easter M & M poem,” next weekend I’m sending home this little booklet that I’ve written with simple retelling of the various aspects of the Easter story along with a note to suggest that families read one page each day leading up to Easter. I thought this might be a good resource to share with others at this time of year.
If you enjoy this printable Easter storybook, then check out more Easter resources from Bethany on her church’s website.

Thank you for this resource. I am sending it home with the children for family devotional time.
I just finished the lessons on The Holy Spirit and now I have an Easter book!!!! I just LOVE this web site and I want to say THANK YOU to all for making Sunday School come alive at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in Bogalusa, Louisiana!!!! My children always seem to be excited to come now!!! My ages range from 2 yrs. to 12 yrs. old and they all are learning something every week now!!!!
Just wanted to add a few suggestions that I gave to my families to go along with this book….
This book, “The 1st Easter,” contains 15 short, 1-page stories designed to help your family walk through the story of the first Easter.
Tips for using this book:
* Read through one story a day leading up to Easter
* Have older kids read the Bible texts that go along with each of the stories.
Note the different details recorded by each of the Gospel writers.
* Let younger kids color the pictures.
* Use the pictures like flashcards and have kids try and retell that portion of
the story using just the picture.
* Mix the pages up and have kids put the story in order.
* Have kids draw pictures to go along with each of the stories.
Wow! Great resource for Easter. Thank you.
Wow, like the whole concept and presentation!
Thanks for sharing.
I love this printable book, I can’t wait to use it this year!
