The 12 Days of Easter

Last year we posted about the 12 Days of Easter.  We used our Resurrection Eggs and made 12 lessons to correspond with each of the eggs to help teach our kiddos about the meaning of Easter. 

We thought it might be nice to get the 12 Days of Easter unit in your hands early so if you want to go through it with your kids, you will have it to plan.

We went ahead and put it all in a single download!  Here is what you’ll find in this download:

  • 12 Days of Easter Plans-You can print them off front and back to save paper, that is why they are in the order they are!   Print them off and cut the pages in half and you will have a handy guide for your lessons! 
  • Printable activities for each day
  • Activity Suggestions
  • A page of helpful links for some of the activities

We hope that having this in one download will help you all out!  Keep an eye out because the rest of the week we will be expanding our Easter Symbols unit, which will include bunnies, baskets and jellybeans!

Wondering if this series is for you?  Check out this post to help you with your decision!  

Don’t have Resurrection Eggs?

Hi Ladies,
I am having a hard time getting the link to open up.  It keeps giving me an error message saying the file is corrupt!!  Have you heard this from anyone else?  Any suggestions?  Thanks so much for all you share!!!

Madonna said...

Thank you so much.  I don't have anything against bunnies and chicks, but it is nice to have found something that I can do with my little ones about the real meaning of Easter.  Yes, we do the fun stuff, too, but I was having a hard time finding printables and activities with a more religious emphasis.  

Madonna said...

I can not get the Easter unit to open!  I am also getting an error massage

Madonna said...

Hi!  Can I ask what browser you're using?  We have gotten a few friends
and family download it  and they haven't had the same error.  We have
downloaded it in Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox. We haven't tried Safari
for Mac yet, but we are checking on that!  Until then, you might try
clearing your cache, disabling your pop up blocker for this site, and
make sure you unzip the file.  We aren't incredibly tech savvy, but I
hope that this helps some! 

Madonna said...

Hi!  You might want to check my reply to Bluebonnetb-it might help you too!  We are looking into it and are sorry you can get the file open!

Madonna said...

first thank you for the pack i am looking over it and wondering what the little girl and boy pages are for.. also what is the personalized cross coloring page.. i don't think it printed?and what is the resurrection garden?  and resurrection rolls? for some reason i don't think those printed with my package.... my eamil is kimberlywo@aol.com or look me up on facebook kimberly womack dawson or http://lifeonthefarminalabama.blogspot.com thanks again!!!!

Madonna said...

It's not working for me either. Did you figure it out?

Madonna said...

Kim-  The boy and girl page is explained in the lesson they came with, Cleansed by the Blood.  As for the resurrection garden and rolls those ideas come from other bloggers and links are included in the Additional Resource page that was in the download.  Hope this helps.

Madonna said...

Nicole-  We aren't having the issue on our end, so we aren't sure what might be causing it.  Have you tried using another browser to download it?  A couple other things you can try are: clearing your cache and/or making sure you allow pop-up windows.  Hope this helps.  Let us know if you still aren't able to get it downloaded.

Madonna said...

When do you start the 12 Days of Easter Unit?  I know the 12 Days of Christmas is celebrated by starting day one on Christmas Day and lasting until the Ephiphany.  Does the same theory apply so that day one of the Easter Unit begins Easter Sunday?  

Madonna said...

No, you'll want to start this at least 12 days before Easter Sunday.  Then you'll last egg will fall on Easter Sunday or sooner if you rather do it earlier.  Also, you may want to read through it first because last year we combined some of the days together because we thought it was best for our kiddos, who were 3 at the time. (You can read about why here: http://www.2teachingmommies.com/2011/04/some-clarity-on-resurrection-eggs.html)

ok thank you so much love the posts... i sat here last night reading for hours ..

Madonna said...

I am not able to download it with Explorer.  Really excited about checking it out as I love the other devotions from the site!

Madonna said...

Holly I'm so sorry you're having difficulty downloading it.  We aren't sure why some people are having difficulty, but it doesn't seem to be on our end.  You can try some of the suggestions listed below.  

Madonna said...

We husband had no issues downloading it through Safari.

Madonna said...

The link you left above isn't working for me, but otherwise thank you for your speedy reply.  :-)

Madonna said...

Is it possible to also post it in unzipped format? My hubby even tried downloading it on his computer and it wouldn't work. Not sure if it's related to the fact that the file is zipped.

Madonna said...

Due to the size of the files we can't post the unzipped version.  I will tell you that my husband has been working on diagnosing the problem and it looks to be something with the Explorer browser corrupting the files.  From what he can see it doesn't look like Explorer is downloading the full file, which is why its missing pieces and therefore why its "corrupted". He is trying to nail down a fix, but you might try opening it in another browser (like Firefox, or Google Chrome) and seeing if that helps!

Hopefully that one will work for you.

Madonna said...

Bummer, I can't open it in IE either.  I've been able to download other zipped themes but with the Easter unit it's telling me the files are corrupt. ??

Madonna said...

Thanks for the link!  I love all the Resurrection activities you have in your download!  

:) Blessings,

Thank you for including the link for the zip downloader!  I have been looking at your units longingly for awhile and missed that link before : )  My daughter is excited about Easter so I am about to fire up my printer so she has something to do other than hide her plastic eggs all over the place.

Madonna said...

Thank you for this! What great ideas! :-)

Madonna said...

Just what I was looking for!  Thanks SO much!

Madonna said...

I did the 12 days of Easter with my boys (5&2) this year and we all loved it! I just had to comment and thank you for it. It was perfect for us!
