Things to talk about while coloring
For Christians, Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, and the cross is a symbol of that story. Easter lilies are large white trumpet-shaped flowers that many churches display at Easter. The sunrise behind the cross is a reminder of early morning Easter services that some families attend. Families who don't celebrate Easter as a religious holiday can still talk about spring flowers and sunrises.
Coloring ideas
Color the cross a warm wood brown and the lilies white with yellow centers and green leaves. The sunrise rays can fade from yellow near the hill to orange and pink farther out, and the grass on the hill can be a fresh spring green.
A little learning
Counting the lilies and then the rays of the sunrise gives kids a calm counting task that fits a quiet Sunday morning.
