Palm Sunday and Egg Coloring

We kicked off our Easter season on Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter, and the children made some pretty cool palm leaves in Sunday School.  They later found these big, real palms from our service and dropped their paper ones for the real thing.  They were showing us a little demo from what they learned that morning in class...

Young started singing "Hosanna" and Cameron decided to do an interpretive dance..

A few days later we did our annal Easter Egg coloring.  I can tell the coloring is getting more and more sophisticated. Timo was dipping in two different colors, Cameron was drawing on her egss and both were trying to mix colors to get new colors...Timo even cracked his shells so the actual egg inside would be colored. I think I might have to up the creativity medium for next year and get stickers and glitter!

Cameron's eggs are on the left, Timo's on the right.  Cameron wanted to write on most of hers and we tried a little strip using rubberbands but didn't turn out so well...need to read up on that for next year.  You can see Timo trying to be creative by having two and three colors per egg.

This is one of Timo's egg that he cracked the shell...the egg white got colored too!  Of couse all he wanted to do was eat it.  Cameron took a long time to make her name egg...and wouldn't let me peel it for deviled eggs on Easter.  We still have it.  For how long?  I don't know.  Hoping she'll forget about it soon...

My little boy who does not like to get his hands dirty was actually OK with dirty hands...after much talking to about how it will come off with soap and water...but it didn't. 

We had some yummy and colorful deviled eggs, or doubled eggs as Timo calls them, for Easter!
