That's right, a dove. Remember that a dove came when Jesus was baptized. A dove is a sign that God's Holy Spirit is near. Whenever you are afraid, remember that God is near and think about this dove in our basket. Close with a prayer of thanksgiving for the promise of Easter, that God is greater than death and will take care of us always.
Children struggle with symbols, so keep illustrations simple.
Teaching the connections between the Easter story and the symbols will help children remember and understand the Easter message.
