Why This Christian Easter Craft Is So Meaningful
Easter can easily become all about candy and egg hunts. While those traditions are fun, many families are looking for ways to intentionally teach their kids about Jesus and the resurrection.
This Matthew 28:6 handprint art focuses on the powerful words:
“He is not here; for He is risen…” — Matthew 28:6
The printable features a cross with space for two handprints beside it. Using yellow paint (symbolizing the rising sun) adds a beautiful visual reminder of Easter morning.
It’s simple enough for toddlers with help, but meaningful enough for older kids to understand and reflect on.
Perfect for Home or Sunday School
This Christian Easter printable works well in several settings:
- Sunday school Easter craft
- Church classroom activity
- Christian homeschool Bible lesson
- Easter family devotion night
- Keepsake gift for grandparents
- Resurrection Sunday kids activity
Teachers love it because it requires minimal prep. Moms love it because it turns into a frame-worthy keepsake.
What Makes Handprint Crafts So Special?

Years from now, you’ll be glad you took five minutes to print the page and add paint.
