I bought this for my daughter who is 4 1/2. We used the resurrection eggs last year, but I just talked w/ her about what each egg meant. This book is great to use with the eggs now that she is older and tells the story of a little boy who lives in Jerusalem and follows the events of holy week. He picks up an item at each scene that depicts what is happening to Jesus. The box in the story was his grandfather's and had a bit of hay in it from Jesus' birth. At the end he shares the story of Jesus w/ his friends. Well done!

To start the season off, I finally decided to buy Resurrection Eggs for my family and CCD class. Call me lazy because you could surely make these yourself, but I liked having them done for me instead of searching for the pieces for inside the eggs.... Plus the resource book included came in useful.

If you want an awesome resource to go along with the eggs, you need this book (Benjamin's Box). The story is great and matches the eggs perfectly. It is nicely illustrated and each page tells a story to match the item in the egg. The kids seem to enjoy the story and hearing it from the point of view of a little boy. I highly recommend getting this book to compliment the eggs. My kids ages 5 and 8 really enjoy this book. I am also sharing it with my third grade CCD class and they love it too.

I hid the eggs around my house and told my kids to find them but not open them. Once we had all 12 eggs we took turns reading a page from the book and opening the egg that went along with the page.

I used Benjamin's Box to help me create a printable to match the Resurrection Eggs activity. If you search Teaching Heart Mom on Google and then go to Easter you will see it. You can download it free here. It is five pages. The last page (foldable eggs) you will need to print three times on colored card stock. All other pages get printed once on regular paper. My kids enjoyed making the books and we will refer to them through the season.

I read this with my 4 year old and she loved it. We picked the days before Easter and she was fascinated as we did a count down to Easter. This is an excellent book to introduce young children to the harder concepts of Easter.

Benjamin's Box is a good book to read at Easter time to kids. By the way, it's really good for adults, too!!

This is a great book with beautiful pictures. The pages are nice and glossy. It's a thin book, not big and bulky. The story is very sweet and set in a way for younger children to be interested.

This book is a wonderful companion story to the Resurrection Eggs kit. The children delighted in the pictures and story which helped them relate to the Passion message.

I bought this book to read along with the Resurrection Eggs I purchased. The book does a wonderful job of pairing with the Eggs, or as a stand-alone read. I bought it for my 6 year old daughter and she enjoys the book very much.

I have been using the wonderful Resurrection Eggs for several years. This book gives more details if you want to add to the information for each egg's symbolism
