I want to thank Christian Focus 4 Kids for supplying a review copy of My Easter Activity Book in return for my honest opinion.
Resurrection Sunday (or Easter) is one of the most exciting times of the year, isn’t it? How amazing to remember that our Lord took on flesh, suffered, and died for the forgiveness of our sins–and then he rose from the dead to live eternally! Amazing.
When I was a kid, one of my favorite activities was to work on puzzles. I loved them all: mazes, word puzzles, logic games, codes, different pictures. You really couldn’t give me a logic activity I didn’t want to get a hold of. I also loved coloring and reading. I would have been eager to get my hands on a good Easter activity book for children.
Easter Activity Book
Catherine MacKenzie has written an awesome book that children who enjoy puzzles will love! My Easter Activity Book: 40 Days to Celebrate Jesus’ Resurrection (Christian Focus Publications, 2016) has a wonderful array of activities and reading, aimed at children ages 6-8.
The book has 41 days of readings and activities. Day 40 is the Resurrection; there is an extra day (41) to cover the Lord appearing to the disciples after his resurrection. Each day of the book has an illustration to color, a story to read, and an activity to do. There is a wide variety of activities including: decoding Bible verses, mazes, find-the-difference pictures, a story wheel, and crafts to make.
There are several sections following the 41 days of puzzles and stories. You’ll find a 40 days of Scripture reading schedule, Bible verse coloring pages, an answer key for the puzzles, and a colorful, thick checklist for the 40 days of Bible activities.
A Wonderful Activity Book for Children
My Easter Activity Book is the sort of gift I would have loved to receive as a young girl. I was always begging for activity books in the grocery store checkout line. What a fabulous thing it would have been to find one with such a sound, biblical purpose.
If you’re looking for a gift this Easter, I absolutely recommend this book. You might want to throw in Catherine MacKenzie’s My Christmas Activity Book and a set of colored pencils as well. Tie them all together with some ribbon and you’re set!

Christian History Matters for Our Kids.
History matters. Now, more than ever, we see how important it is for our children to know and understand history and the Bible.
Here’s why:
- God is the sovereign ruler of all things. It’s important for our kids to see his hand in the history of nations and in the lives of both peasants and kings.
- Christian history is the story of our family history. Our kids get to see how people who love Jesus follow him.
- Understanding history can help our kids learn historic and biblical theology. They learn what the Bible says and what that means for us. They also see when the study of Scripture has taken important turns that have changed the Church.
- Reading Christian biographies and history can be a wonderful way for kids to think outside their own time and culture. God’s Church spans centuries and includes people from every nation.
- Christian biographies help kids consider their own faith, walk with Jesus, and the impact their witness may one day have on others–and on history.
The Who What Why Series is the perfect resource to teach your kids about history, while helping them apply biblical truths to their lives today.

What a fun idea this is!
What a way to teach about the Lord’s Resurrection and I think doing it over a period of time also instills the importance of it to our children. I think it is a great idea and something that would even be great to do at church in Sunday school
Nice Giveaway, thanks!
I would love this for my daughter who adores puzzles and mazes, looks like a fantastic book!
We would all love this book
This book would be great for the two girls we’re adopting. They don’t know much about God so this would be a fun way to help them learn.
This would be a great resource for my son
There are so many resources for Christmas but not as many for Easter. This is a great resource to help children understand Easter.
This would be a great addition to our traditions.
I would love to give this to my dear friend who is going through a tense divorce right now. She has three children eight and under so I think this would be helpful.
I love the activities section. I think that really makes a lesson stick with a child.
This would be perfect for my kids.
This would be perfect for my little ones to do for homeschool
I love that it has tons of fun activities to focus my children on the resurrection.
We’ve already started Amon’s Adventure Lent devotional, we’re so excited to celebrate Resurrection Sunday! This would be great for my middle two daughters, 6 and 8.5! Thanks again for such wonderful giveaways 🙂
What appeals to me most about My Easter Activity Book is the activities after the stories. My girls love books with extra activities to do.
Thanks for the entries! It looks to be a great book!!
This would be great for my two middle children.
My kids love to have activities to do and enjoy them even more when they tie into a story! I love the activities because my kids remember more about the story when they have something fun to do with it.
Always looking for activities to help keep my kids focused on Jesus’ death and resurrection. This sounds awesome!! Are we allowed to make copies of the activities (for this book and for the christmas one) for use within our own family? or our own sunday school class?
I love that it has daily activities
My granddaughters would love this. They would be learning the Easter story and having fun at the same time.
My girls would love this book!
What a great book, I love that they have coloring and activities to go along with what you are learning. Thanks for giveaway
I love the activities to reinforce learning!
Teaching my daughter about the Resurrection is what appeals to me most. This sounds like a complete resource including readings, coloring, scripture, activities, and puzzles. How fun! Alyssa also loves all types of puzzles. It would be a blessing to win! I am always looking for great ways to teach about the resurrection at, around, or during Easter time. This is like a countdown and we adore countdown activities which break up important content into smaller chunks. It reminds us of how we celebrate Christmas too.
I would really like to shift the focus to be more God-centered and remain fun for my boys. This looks like a good resource for that.
What a neat way to help kids really understand Easter.
My grandson would love this! (I teach him at home while his mother works.)
Great way to prepare our hearts for Easter and build up the excitement.
I think this is a great way to teach young kids the real meaning of Easter.
This definitely looks like a book children would be blessed by having a family member read to them!
This looks really nice. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
Sounds like a wonderful book. I homeschool and always looking for something to start our day
This book looks great for multiple ages!
Activity including God’s word and learning skills.
