My Easter Bunny

Sweet vintage postcard of grey bunnies for Easter.

 MY EASTER BUNNY

My Bunny has the longest ears
That ever you did see,
And just the brightest little eyes,
He almost winks at me!

And then I just imagine
I hear my Bunny say,
''My, everybody's happy
And glad on Easter Day.''

 The rabbits favorite foods are scrambled below! Try to guess what these are and leave some behind for him to snack on while he fills your basket with Easter eggs and marshmallow chics...

An Easter themed word scramble.

The First Easter

  THE FIRST EASTER

I'spect that it was pretty dark
That morning long ago,
When those three women started out
With all those things to go

To where they knew their Christ was laid,
And everything was still,
And maybe not a sound was heard
By anyone until

That Mary saw the stone was gone,
And then the coming day
Began to make the whole world bright;
Then, when she turned away,

She saw a man come walking down
The path, and suddenly
She knew her Lord had risen indeed,
And wished the rest could see.

And I just 'spose that Jesus knew
Where the disciples stayed,
And so He said, ''Go tell them all.
'Tis I, be not afraid.''

The Little Boy

A little boy with his slate makes figures and calculates.

 THE LITTLE BOY

You know I think that little boy
Who gave his lunch one day
To help to feed a hungry crowd
Who'd come a long, long way

To hear what Jesus said to them,
Was standing near that night
And wondered what a boy could do
To make things come out right.

And I'm 'most sure that he was there
With all the sorrowing men,
That little boy loved Jesus, too,
I know He'd be there then.

And Easter morning when the stone
Had all been rolled away,
I'm very sure that little boy
Was glad 'twas Easter Day.

As home from church, our way we wend,
Brother gives flowers to his friend.
A polite boy gifts an Easter jonquil to his friend.


"The Stories I Like" and Little Lambs

Antique postcard of a little girl pulling her lamb toy on wheels.

THE STORIES I LIKE

I like to hear the stories
Of days of long ago,
You find them in the Bible
And when you do you know

They're everyone as true as true,
And that is just the way
We know that Jesus came to life
On that first Easter Day.


 Draw an old-fashioned Easter toy. This one is a lamb on wheels.

3 Steps to draw this little Easter lamb.


Easter Bells

Vintage postcard of Easter egg "bells" among the pussy willow.

EASTER BELLS

Hear the church bells ringing,
Telling of God's love,
Little children singing,
Of our God above.

Each bell tells this message,
''Jesus Christ arose,
No more is He in the grave,
He's triumphed o'er His foes. 

 
The Easter bunnies are never late,
At sunrise, they come through the gate.
Vintage coloring from the 1950s of children and Easter bunnies.


Easter Message

EASTER MESSAGE
Little robins singing sweetly,
In every bush and tree,
All are singing the sweet story,
''Jesus died and rose for me.'' 


Jesus uses parables to convey a spiritual truth about God. Coloring page.
 
       "After Jesus and his disciples came to Jerusalem he taught each day in the temple. The chief priests and the leaders of the people wanted to destroy him but they didn't know what to do because the people were so devoted to him. In the temple Jesus told stories to make it easier for them to understand his teaching. His stories are called parables. He said the most important thing to do was to love God with all your heart and soul and mind and strength. And you should love your neighbor as you love yourself."

Easter Songs in Verse and for Coloring

Two children hunt giant Easter egg postcard.

EASTER SONG
Tune: Jesus Bids Us Shine

Easter Day is here and we all are glad,
Every one is happy, not a one is sad,
Each a message bringing, singing loud and clear,
From our Lord and Master, our Savior dear.
Jesus Christ is risen, risen from the dead,
Rise up from the darkness even as He said,
Now He reigns in Heaven, sends His love so free,
To all of His children, to you and me.

        Now color a choir boy in church singing his Easter song for services...

      On Good Friday, there are special services in many churches. Sometimes there is special music that includes Easter songs. Above is a little boy who is a member of an Easter choir singing hymns for Good Friday or for Easter Sunday. He holds a hymnal with a cross on the front cover. A hymnal is a book of songs sung to God about his love and saving grace. There is also pictured here a stained glass window for you to color as well and Easter lilies too!
