Here is a great idea found on one of my new favorite blogs, Secrets of a Super Mommy…
I have 12 eggs. Inside each egg is a surprise and attached to the outside of each egg is a scripture that goes with it. I printed out the numbers for the eggs, then backed them with paper and embellished them. Then I stuck them to the outside of the egg with a sticky dot.
Then I took thin rope and strung it through the holes in the tops of the eggs. I printed out the scriptures from Matthew, punched them at the top, and put them on the rope as well.
Here is a list of the 12 scriptures and the 12 surprises for inside:
one: a miniature paper or plastic cup (Mathew 26:39)
two: 3 dimes (Mathew 26: 14-15)
three: a piece of rope (Mathew 27:1-2)
four: a small piece of soap (Mathew 27: 24-26)
five: red fabric (Mathew 27:29-30)
six: a nail (Mathew 27: 31-32)
seven: dice (Mathew 27:35-37)
eight: several small rocks (Mathew 27:50-52)
nine: white piece of cloth (Mathew 27: 58-60)
ten: one large stone (27:60, 65-66)
eleven: sweet spices, I use cloves (Mark 16:1; Mathew 28:2, &5)
twelve: leave this one empty (Mark 16:6)
I just found your blog through Mormon Mommy Blogs and I'm in love with all your great tips. I'll definitely be coming back for more!
