Easter Banner

Welcome to Heart FELT Truths and the Holy Week/Easter Banner page. If you are looking for a Christ-centered family tradition for celebrating Easter or a special tool to teach your children events in the Bible about Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection then you have come to the right place! Our Easter Banner is a very unique tool for Christian families of young children (approximately ages 2-8) to use during their Easter or Lent celebrations.

******The Heart FELT Truths Easter Banner begins on Palm Sunday. To have yours by before Palm Sunday, order deadline is March 18th! Order today!******************

Who is the Easter Banner for?

Children from preschool through second grade is the target age range for this product’s devotionals, but families with a larger age range of children will find this very adaptable. *Heart FELT Truth’s hopes to create additional devotionals and symbols for use with the banner targeted at older children in the future.

How is the Easter Banner used?

Starting with Palm Sunday there is a symbol (or two) to add to the banner along with an introduction, Scripture Text, and discussion to use. Each day’s devotional takes less than 15 minutes and is perfect for a family worship setting. Keep reading the picture captions below to learn about the special way that this Easter Banner teaches about the resurrection between Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday.  If you would like more info and photos on the Easter Banner you can also view this product review from I Can Teach My Child.

Easter Banner with all symbols added

On Good Friday nails are placed in the cross, a wrapped body is placed in the tomb at the bottom of the banner, and a black piece is pulled over the banner display.

Children wake up to an empty tomb and the new banner display reading “He is Risen!” on Easter Sunday. This is a special way to bring meaning to your family’s Easter celebration and teach children about why we celebrate Easter.
