For many kids, Easter means one thing: hunting for eggs and candy to fill their Easter basket.
But one mom, Natalie Ard, got an idea for her kids to celebrate the "true meaning" of the holiday in a fun and creative way. She created the Easter Story Egg, a set of seven nesting eggs that tell the biblical story of Jesus starting on Palm Sunday and ending on Easter Sunday.

"I have three kids myself and when it comes to Easter, Christmas, some of the major holidays, it's hard to really get across the true meaning of the holiday. The Easter Story Egg is a great teaching tool for parents and something fun to do as a family."

The handcrafted eggs come with a book that tells a story for every egg in a rhyming fashion. They can be read all at once or day by day.

Wednesday discusses "Give and Take," comparing and contrasting Judas taking money to hand over Jesus and the woman who used the alabaster jar to wash Jesus' feet.
Thursday is about the Last Supper and the following day is Good Friday, about the cross.

"It's one more thing that reinforces what the holiday of Easter is, because when you go to any stores it's about bunnies and baskets and candy," Ard added. "I just hope they get the impression on their heart why we get to celebrate Easter in the first place."
