Make an Easter lent garden with your kiddos as a visual parable. You complete different parts on the corresponding days of Holy Week. It has clear detailed directions.

Two Teaching Mommies has a great lesson plan with a ton of free printables to go with it. There is a printable memory verse with picture, worksheets, number maze, clip cards for math, etc... Hope you have some fun with it!
Two Teaching Mommies has created a 12 days of Easter lesson plan as well that coincides with resurrection eggs for a 12 day lesson on Easter for your kiddos. What a fun way to go through the meaning of Easter with your little ones and have them really get it. They recommend combining Days 5-9 have been combined for those that are younger and will find the topic of Christs suffering too much to spread out over those days. So you still have time to get this lesson done before Easter!
I hope this has helped you get a few new ideas for the week before Easter, so you and your kids can enjoy the deeper meaning of Easter and learn at the same time.

Best FREE patterns with tutorials for Easter or spring dress'!
If you get started right away you still have some time to make an Easter dress or two (or 3?) for your little girls. I looked through tons of free online patterns and tutorials to come up with a list of what I think are the best ones out there so you only have to go to one place to find the perfect dress' for Easter. Most of these are fairly simple and all have a pattern or instructions to create the pattern so there is nothing to buy except the fabric and notions! Last year we chose the "Party Dress" by The Cottage Home and I let the girls pick out their fabric. Hope you find something special for your special little girls!

A very clear tutorial but asks for an A-line pattern. Just use a simple dress in the size you want to make the pattern by folding it in half and tracing it with a seam allowance. Then put that pattern on folded material to cut out the A line dress.
