I am so grateful at the quick and wonderful responses I got from my grandparents, parents, siblings, their spouses, and even a few of the kids’ cousins! I teared up several times in reading them and was amazed at how different everyone’s paragraph was!

I also asked the kids’ favorite Primary teachers for theirs and included two testimonies from President Monson and one from Joseph Smith.

I love looking at these awesome people all in one place!

Step #1: Ask your family members to email their testimony to you. Copy and paste them into one document.

Step #2: Find pictures of all of those wonderful people, and insert them into a document. (I formatted each to be one-inch high.)

In past years, I have put small pictures of Christ into each egg, or divided puzzles of Christ into the eggs. I have been so happy with these simple ways to keep the focus of Easter on Christ -- even with the egg hunt.

It was time to do something new, so I assembled these “Testimony Easter Eggs” for the kids’ egg hunt this year. I’m pretty excited about it and hope it will be awesome. Here is how I did it:

A few years ago, I started color-coding the kids’ Easter eggs and I love it! This way, Jon (the master egg hider) can hide the eggs with varying difficulty according to the kids’ abilities, and they all get an equal amount. I am working on one more set of blue eggs for Baby Boy Lund... I just need 2 more.

Step #3: Print the text and pictures. Cut them out. Tape the picture of each person next to their testimony.

Step #4: Fold the text behind the picture so it will fit inside an Easter egg. Distribute them in the kids’ Easter eggs. Add a jelly bean or other candy to each egg.

I made sure that if the kids had an extra special connection with someone, that they got their testimony. It was still hard to know how to divide them amongst the kids’ eggs since they each love everyone, but we’ll be reading them all aloud anyway. I kept girls with the girls’ eggs and boys with the boys’ eggs because it worked out well that way. (There are a few “blanks” that only have candy.)

Step #5: Hide the eggs - harder for older kids and easier for younger kids. When everyone has found all of their eggs, gather in a circle and open them. Let the kids munch on the candy as you go around the circle reading the testimonies. (These could also be saved to read during Easter dinner or another time.) We’ll be trying it for the first time this year, so I’ll let you know how it goes!

2-year old Tyler will get this version (a picture of Christ in each egg along with one jelly bean in each). He loves pictures of Jesus, and from past experience, this should be just right for helping him to remember Christ on Easter.

See the “Easter” section of my Favorites page for more ideas.

I’m also including a jelly bean poem about Christ in their baskets this year. (I reformatted the text to be smaller after I printed mine.) Here is the poem.
