We recommend: * The Berenstain Bears and the Easter Story by Mike Berenstain * What is Easter? by Michelle M. Adams * An Easter Gift for Me by Crystal Bowman Another way is to help the Easter story come alive by creating Preschool Resurrection Eggs.

We can teach our children the concept of honoring by talking to them about how we honor and respect our own parents and older family members when we listen to them, do what they ask us to do and show our love to them. A fun way to learn about honoring through obedience is to play “Mommy (or Daddy) Says” instead of Simon Says. Act out things like: “Brush your teeth.” “Put away your toys.” “Eat your dinner.” We are almost out of paper towels. Any donations are appreciated.
