Coloring Pages
While you could simply color these pictures, here's one idea for Easter:
Tape together the pictures of Jesus' life in order (with modern application pictures at the end) and roll it together like a scroll. Then put the scroll inside a box so it'll look kind of like a TV (cut a rectangle frame big enough for the pictures to show through). Cut one small slot near the front of the box big enough for coins. Hide coins inside eggs at the Easter hunt. Each coin inserted turns the scroll one page. Tell the Easter story after the hunt to refocus on the reason why we celebrate. It's fun and keeps even the littlest one's attention.
