For those of you who teach at private Christian schools or at your church, here's a beautiful Easter craft that, not only provides your kiddos with something fun to do, but reminds them of the reason for the holiday! We've included Free templates to print of the poem that is pictured above, along with a download of a blank cross to create your own version.
Supplies You'll Need

Paired with a retelling of the first Easter, read from a children's Bible or a children's book {see our selections below}, this is sure to be a memorable craft - not just for Easter, but a great reminder for the whole year!
