Easter is one of the holiest periods for the Christians, and like Christmas, you can teach about Easter to your kids by the method they love most: activity and magic.
For example, you can create a cardboard tomb and put a small figure of Jesus inside, and show your child that Jesus is lying in His tomb. On the day of resurrection, before the child gets up, you can remove the figure, and explain your child about how our sins are absolved and about resurrection. The child will remember it forever.
