Virtual Hunt & Reading of Benjamin’s Box

1. In the week before Easter, print the PDF with the items to fill a set of twelve .

2. Invite your children to color and cut out the images while talking about ’ passion using the Resurrection Eggs Guide.

3. Prior to Easter morning, put each image in one egg, and number the eggs 1 through 12.

4. Hide the 12 eggs (along with others if you’d like!) around your home and invite your children to find them. Ask your children not to open the numbered eggs right away.

5. At 2:00 join us on Holy Infant’s Facebook page for a livestream reading of Benjamin’s Box. During the reading, we will pause for each egg to be opened when it’s appropriate.

6. Save your next empty to store your resurrection eggs for years to come!
