You will need: A clean, empty baby food jar with the label
removed. The Color's of Christ
poem, colored pencils, scissors, tape, glue,
paper Easter grass, extra-mini Easter ornaments.
Directions: Print out the special Color's
of Christ poem.
Color and cut it out, then glue it onto
an empty baby food jar. Fill with jelly beans. Decorate the lid with Easter
grass, and glue miniature Easter ornaments onto the grass. *Tip:
Have the kids color and cut out the poem and glue it to their jar.
Then, as you read the poem, have the kids drop two to three of each of the matching
colored jelly beans into their jar. Decorate the lids and enjoy the
sweet treat!
