We have used a set of “Resurection Eggs” to tell the story of Jesus’ final week from Palm Sunday – Easter morning. We did this for the first time when my oldest was 2 and they love it. If you’ve never seen these before, it is basically a set of a dozen plastic easter eggs, each of which has a small “symbol” inside as a part of the story. You can buy them, but I made my own set and we have used readings out of the Catherine Vos story Bible (although you could read the corresponding passages from a real Bible as well.) If anyone is interested I am happy to post the items I used and the list of stories for each.
We have also done weekly during Lent (so a little late for this year) these readings by John Piper with candles http://www.desiringgod.org/resource-library/articles/lenten-lights – sort of a similar idea as doing an Advent wreath at Christmas time. I felt convicted a few years ago about how we made a bigger deal out of Christmas than Easter in our family, so we have been attempting to simplify our Christmas traditions and try to incorporate more spiritual meaning into our Easter (we’ve never done anything with the Easter bunny or anything like that, just didn’t do much at all.)
There was a good thread last week with some other ideas and links as well. http://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/topic/resurrectioneaster-ideas
I downloaded the Shining Dawn Nature study idea book mentioned in that thread and it has a lot of neat ideas for tying nature study in with the study of Jesus’ last week in the Bible. We are using a couple ideas from this this week, and will refer back to it again in future years because there was too much there to do it all at once.

HTH,
