Wow, Easter is early this year! Did you know it can actually only fall one day earlier? It will not fall this early again until 2160! If you would like to find out what date Easter falls in any year click HERE.

I have found a batch of wonderful Easter freebies. You may have seen some of these in Freebie Friday and some on my blog but, here they are all together for the first time! 

Bible in Living Sound is offering The Passion of Jesus Christ as a free MP3 download.

Easter Bunny, Are You For Real? - Enjoy the complete text of the children's book written by Harold Myra. (You can click on the printer friendly version to view and print it without the banner ads.)

Evan, The Tree that Became the Cross - A sweet story for children by David C Klem

Suddenly One Morning - The Shopkeeper's Story: An Easter Narrative by Charles R. Swindoll

The Passion of Christ in Art - Here you'll find major moments of the Passion highlighted by major works of Western art.

Instructions to make your own Resurrection Eggs - Learn to tell the story of Easter using plastic eggs.

Here is another site with free printables to use to make Resurrection Eggs. (The kids and I will be making a set of these this week!)

Jesus Lives - Free bookmarks to print. (These would be great to hand out in Sunday School or give to friends.)

Easter Cookie Recipe - Make these special cookies with your children to learn the true meaning of Easter.

Here is a Christian Easter Preschool Curriculum. Here are all the printables to go with it.

Free Christian printables for kids.  This site includes directions for a puppet, popup card and coloring sheets.

These Scripture cards can be printed and put together on a ring to help your family learn passages of Scripture related to Easter.

This notebooking project uses passages of scripture from the last week of the life of Christ.  What a great keepsake! I can't wait to work on this one with my kids!

At this site you can take a virtual tour of the Holy Land. I really enjoyed this one!

Lastly, I want to leave you with my favorite scripture verse about Easter:

He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said.
                                             Matthew 28:6

I love this verse because it conveys so much about God.  He keeps his word and never changes! He promised a Savior and just like always, He did what He promised.

I pray that the links above will help you and your family to learn more about how AWESOME God is! 

Happy Easter,
