The Empty Egg

On Easter morning one year, we arranged for our son to open the last plastic egg, but he refused.Several years ago, we bought a pack of twelve plastic “Resurrection Eggs” filled with various symbols representing key moments in the Easter story. We worried the eggs could be a little cheesy, but our kids delighted in taking turns plucking one from the carton and shaking it like a birthday present to guess what was inside.

Each item makes a different sound as it rolls or thumps against the plastic: for example the whip—nothing more than a strip of leather—can be hard to guess as it softly brushes against the insides like a whisper, whereas we can easily identify the metallic chinka-chink of the noisy coins…

      Good idea! Or…you could make your own with any plastic eggs that are hanging around after Sunday. (We’ve discovered that Playmobil items fit nicely in the eggs.)

    Ann — I picked YOU this week for there and back again, as well as Susan DiMickele. You both told stories of your children experiencing Passion Week. I had a story of my own to share when my nephew first heard about the death of Jesus. It’s funny. And sobering.

    I’m having a little technical problem with the linky tool, however, so if you are planning to join me for There and Back Again, the link up might not be ready until late afternoon.

    Happy Maundy Thursday!
