Stuff you'll need: an adult-sized shirt to cover each child's
clothes, 1 yard of clear vinyl (available in fabric or craft
stores), permanent markers, and scissors. Get ready: Lay the
vinyl on a table and place something on its edges so it'll lie
flat. Read the Easter story from Luke 24:1-12, making a special
point of pointing out who the people in the story are. Paint a
verbal picture for the children, describing how the tomb must've
looked, the scenery around the area, and who came to see Jesus'
body. Tell kids to: - Work together to draw an Easter scene on
the vinyl. Decide who'll draw a picture of Jesus, who'll draw a
picture of the tomb, and so on until all the important items in
the story have been drawn on the vinyl. Everyone should draw a
picture. - After drawing, cut out the general shape of your
picture. As I read the Easter story again, stick your pictures
to a window in our classroom to create the Easter scene. Ask:
How do you think the women felt when they came to the tomb and
couldn't find Jesus
