Homemade Easter Ideas
There are many Homemade Easter Ideas that one can use for this holiday.
Easter is all about Jesus' Resurrection and Salvation. It's a great time to participate in evangelism. Click here for a Free Easter Brochure to help promote your Easter events and activities.
There is a Christian saying that "prophets died, saints died, great men died - none of them ever returned to life. When Jesus died some people remembered that he had foretold his resurrection..."
So it is a time to celebrate. To celebrate that our Lord, who appeared on Earth for the good of mankind, is always with us.
A lot of churches have homemade easter ideas. Several of them will have a play of "The Passion" that tells us all about how Jesus loved us so much that he gave his life on the cross for you and for me that we can have everlasting life. Because he lives we can see tomorrow! There is a flyer below for "The Passion".

Easter Egg Hunt with Resurrection Eggs
Resurrection Eggs can be created or bought - each plastic egg has an object pertaining to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Colorful plastic eggs with visual reminders are a proven learning tool for children 3 and up.
Have the children that find the resurrection eggs to sit down and listen to a story regarding Jesus' Resurrection. Have pictures of the items on a poster board and have the children hold them up during the story.
After the story, emphasize Jesus' sacrifice and have the children sacrifice their eggs, ect. with the knowledge that they will receive something better at the end of the event/day - just as Jesus knew that his sacrifice would bring something better in the end!
While they have free time, have some helpers divide the eggs evenly and put prizes which say "He is Risen" (you can purchase from the Oriential Trading Company or make your own) in their bags. Then have the children come back and receive their gifts. This makes a wonderful tool to further the knowledge of Jesus and Easter to our children.
If you don't want to do the Resurrection Eggs, you can type up some Bible scriptures regarding Jesus' Passion - then print, cut them out, put in plastic eggs and let the children who found them read their scriptures one by one.
