Easter Egg Resurrection Countdown Eggs

Here is a great idea found on one of my new favorite blogs, Secrets of a Super Mommy...

countdown eggs
I have 12 eggs.  Inside each egg is a surprise and attached to the outside of each egg is a scripture that goes with it.  I printed out the numbers for the eggs, then backed them with paper and embellished them.  Then I stuck them to the outside of the egg with a sticky dot.
Then I took thin rope and strung it through the holes in the tops of the eggs.  I printed out the scriptures from Matthew, punched them at the top, and put them on the rope as well.


Here is a list of the 12 scriptures and the 12 surprises for inside:

one: a miniature paper or plastic cup (Mathew 26:39)

two: 3 dimes (Mathew 26: 14-15)

three: a piece of rope (Mathew 27:1-2)

four: a small piece of soap (Mathew 27: 24-26)

five: red fabric (Mathew 27:29-30)

six: a nail (Mathew 27: 31-32)

seven: dice (Mathew 27:35-37)

eight: several small rocks (Mathew 27:50-52)

nine: white piece of cloth (Mathew 27: 58-60)

ten: one large stone (27:60, 65-66)

eleven: sweet spices, I use cloves (Mark 16:1; Mathew 28:2, &5)

twelve: leave this one empty (Mark 16:6)
