riotproof Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 My kids loved the Passover episode from Rugrats. Thanks to [mention]cardamom[/mention] for telling me about it. I'd like something not overly preachy, just the story. I try to explain it, but I find we get caught up in details and get drawn off point.

riotproof Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 I've got a feeling that's quite secular, just dealing with a hunt. The passover episode explains the why in a non preachy way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mose Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I have always struggled with this. In my extended IL's family "watching Mose attempt to tell the Easter story for the kids" is as much a tradition as an egg hunt.Hint:if you use duplo, the stone will not roll away.

Scootaloo Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 There was an ok one on YouTube I saw. Not a tv episode just a simple Easter explanation for kids. It had both the religious and the pagan traditions (even explained what Pagan means) I can try and find it again if you like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BusbyWilkes Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Isn’t it in a book called the Bible?! Iirc your kids aren’t that little. If you want to explain because that’s your belief, or because you want to expose them to lots of different religious beliefs, then go to he source. A kids book of bible stories if straight from an easy-read version of the bible is beyond their years/level of comprehension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pip Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Arthur - an old kids cartoon does good episodes on religious holidays. The show doesn't focus on one religion but how a variety of celebrations occur for different cultures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a really tough story for my kids and I’m very, very wary of a lot of the penal substitution messages that come along with a lot of the other material available.

Alta Gaudia Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Given that DD's Easter artwork featured a rabbit at the foot of the cross, I suspect I have some work to do... not sure I therefore am in a place to recommend anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenflea Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 BTN had someone on the ABC this morning saying they'd done an episode on Easter from a Christian and non Christian point of view, talking about the history of it(pagan) and hot cross buns etc. It sounds like it might be good for your kids.

Not Escapin Xmas Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I’ve decided the solution is to watch Jesus Christ Superstar on YouTube. DD didn’t seem thrilled but it’s educational right?https://youtu.be/1BseBCzOh6s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seayork2002 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 The most religious orthodox person in my family taught me the Easter and Christmas messages inbetween Monty Python quotes so I may not be able to help too muchI think the BBC had some good resources on their sites someone mentioned to me a few years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
