This year, for the Easter Season, we made charm bracelets as a type of Resurrection Egg activity. The children were read the Easter story and then given pieces of Sculpey clay to form the charms. We did this over two weeks, but would recommend four. They formed a wrap or coat that was used to place on the donkey for Jesus, a loaf of bread, a prayer Bible, a cross, a piece of linen, a stone, an angel (not yet on the bracelet shown), and a scroll. A piece of plastic palm was also added to the collection. After baking the clay, they were painted and hand made jump rings were strung along with the beads to make the colorful bracelets. This was a fun project to do, and now the children can share the Easter story with others, too.
