The Jesus Tree is a great Lent resource to use with preschoolers and younger elementary-aged kids to prepare your family's heart for Easter.
Each day your kids can color a picture, read a Scripture passage, hear a short Bible story, ask a simple question, and say a short prayer together.
Recommended age range: 3-8
Strengths:
- Simple but meaningful way to prepare your family's heart for Easter
- Great visual element with the story pictures for kids to color
- Well-suited for preschool and younger elementary kids
- Instead of creating an Easter tree, I just had my boys tape their "ornaments" to our wall. This created a great overview of the stories we covered and how it culminated in celebrating Easter.
- Even if you can't hit all 48 days, it's worth sprinkling in this resource during the Lent season.
