Is it hard for you to find Spanish Easter activities that are Christ-Centered or is it just me? There are tons of ideas out there that are cute and educational and maybe even in Spanish, but they lack the focus of Easter. In sharing these, you will be able to find at least one that’s easy enough for you to do with your family today!

Before that though, let’s recall that there are 4 critical pieces in language learning: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. As your child gets older, there should be balanced input from all of these. As I’m often mindful of this, below you’ll find Spanish Easter activities that will allow you to incorporate Spanish into your home in all four language areas.

Here’s what you’ll find in this post:

Resurrection Eggs

Resurrection Eggs are a great way to reclaim the message of Jesus in the use of Easter Eggs. Instead of the typical Easter Egg hunt with eggs stuffed with candy, try this activity where each egg tells a key part to the resurrection story and of salvation through Christ.

I’ve come across two amazing versions. First, check out Huevos de la Resurrección (in Spanish) if your child is older and 10 eggs would suit them better. You’ll find printable verses to include in the eggs along with printable images to use if you can’t find tangible objects to go with the verses.

While I want to get to do that version one day, right now my little one can only handle Resurrection Eggs for Toddlers (in English) which I’ve modified to include Spanish and have included below. It was super easy to put together.

Since this is our first Easter where she’s old enough for activities, I did make a trip to the dollar store for these 6 eggs that are all different colors. I didn’t have any eggs already in the house. If you do, just use those and make sure to save your eggs for future years.

Number the eggs 1-6 with a permanent marker. In the first egg, place a bread crumb.

In the second egg, I placed a sticker of the cross which I also grabbed when at the dollar store. If you can’t find anything to substitute with at your house, even drawing one on a small piece of paper or cutting one out of construction paper would do the trick.

In the third egg, place a strip of white cloth. We used a piece of toilet paper, but kleenex would work too!

Place a rock in the fourth egg. My child is obsessed with all things nature, so I picked up one when we were on a walk naturally collecting sticks, rocks, and acorns anyway.

Here’s the easiest one. Leave the fifth egg empty!

For the last egg, fill it with something sweet your child enjoys. We don’t do candy yet in our house, so I’m slipping in some fruit. She’ll be delighted just as well.

My child loves to find things, so I’m choosing to hide the eggs, collect them all, and then open them in order while talking about each object and verse.

Use this explanation when opening the eggs with your niñito to explain what each object stands for in the story and the Spanish Bible verse that goes along with each.

Three Cross Crafts

I love crafts, and I love meditating on how we reflect the image of God when we create. As well, I enjoy watching my little one explore creating things and interacting with new artistic elements. Plus we chose to use these Easter activities to practice Spanish colors and commands. I’ve done three crafts this season with my toddler, but these can be modified for a child of any age.

1. Cross Suncatcher

The first one was a Cross Suncatcher. This could be done with a child of any age, but after learning the hard way, I’m sharing with you an extremely simplified version that is less parent involvement dependent.

Need:

*different colored tissue papers

*contact paper -Grab some here

*clear tape

*scissors

Steps to Follow:

1. Cut up different colored tissue paper into 1″ x 1″ squares.

2. Cut a piece of contact paper about the size of a standard size piece of paper or larger if you choose.

3. Place the contact paper sticky side up on a table. Tape down the corners to the table.

4. Have your child place the tissue paper squares all over the contact paper. Make sure to practice the colors in Spanish while your child is laying them down.

5. When filled, cut out and lay down another piece of contact paper of the same size to sandwich together the tissue paper.

6. Cut out a shape of a cross and hang on your window or glass door at your child’s height to enjoy.

2. Cross Painting

This craft is beautiful and could not be easier which means it’s just my style. Yours too?

Here’s what you need:

*white paper

*masking tape or painter’s tape

*scissors

* paint tray like this, crayons or markers

*optional: Q-tips

Steps:

1. Take a standard size piece of paper and cut two pieces of tape to make a cross. Cutting the pieces allows for the edges to be nice and straight.

2. Smooth down the tape on the paper in the shape of a cross.

3. Then allow your child to decorate all over the paper. My 17 month old did this by painting with Q-tips. I would wet the individual q-tips for her, allow her to rub it in the paint and then rub it on her paper. Markers or crayons would also work just as well for this activity. What ever you use, just practice those colors in Spanish together. Older children could even do a scene of 3 crosses and include a landscape.

4. Once finished and dry, carefully remove the tape to reveal a marvelous white cross!

5. Verse to include on your paper or with your activity:

***In Spanish from the version Traducción en Lenguaje Actual,

1 Pedro 2:24 Cristo hizo suyos nuestros pecados, y por eso murió en la cruz. Lo hizo para que nosotros dejemos por completo de hacer el mal, y vivamos haciendo el bien. Cristo fue herido para que ustedes fueran sanados.

***As well as in English from the New Living Translation,

1 Peter 2:24 He personally carried our sins
    in his body on the cross
so that we can be dead to sin
    and live for what is right.
By his wounds
    you are healed.

3. Cross Coloring for Gift Bag

I came across some amazing Fruit of the Spirit stickers that I wanted to gift to my friend’s girls for Easter. They are similar to these. Our church just finished an impactful series on them and thought these would be fun. I brainstormed that we could decorate a plain gift bag and my daughter could practice her coloring skills. So here’s what we did, and disclaimer, this was entirely decorated by my 17 month old. 🙂

Materials Needed:

*piece of cardboard (from any box that could be recycled and thinner is easier to cut)

*crayons or markers

*solid colored paper gift bag or piece of paper

*tape

Steps:

1. Take a piece of cardboard and cut out a cross to serve as a stencil.

2. Tape the stencil to the bag or piece of paper.

3. Child colors all over and hopefully colors within the stencil as well! Have your child practice saying the color of his/her crayons.

4. Trace the outline of the cross with the stencil before removing.

Spanish Easter Books

La Pascua es un Regalo de Dios

3-7 years old, 40 pages

This is the Spanish version of the story God Gave Us Easter. As Little Cub celebrates Easter with Papa, Mama, and her brother and sister, she begins to ask her papa questions about this very special day of the year. Papa lovingly explains God’s plans for his children, while taking Little Cub on a memorable walk through her stunning Arctic world, and he shares how Easter came about in clear, simple terms that even the littlest cubs can understand.

La Historia de Jesús

3-6 years old, 30 pages, Bilingual

This popular title is joined by its Spanish-language counterpart, in this book about the biblical life of Jesus from birth to resurrection. Each two-page spread contains delicate watercolors with the English text on the left and Spanish text on the right. Parents and teachers alike will find the bilingual texts useful in teaching children who are studying Spanish or learning English as a second language.

Mi Pequeña Historia de La Pascua

Under 5 years old, 30 pages

This simple and sincere retelling of the Easter story is perfect for the under 5s, introducing them to the great story at the heart of the festival and its message of love. Bright illustrations help the story along, telling little children about all the events of the first Easter.

Christ-Centered Easter Songs in Spanish

Forgive me for saying so, but I find it ironic to have to specify that these are Christ-Centered Easter Songs. However, as I was searching Spanish Easter songs, there were just too many results focused on bunnies. “Silly rabbit! Easter is for Jesus!” So I’m linking to another blogger’s page: Baby Devotions who has lots of great Spanish Easter Christian songs. We are currently jamming to Uno, Dos, Tres. She has an entire section dedicated to Spanish resources to check out too.
