You will need: A clean, empty baby food jar with the label removed.  The Colors of Christ poem, below, colored pencils, scissors, tape, glue, paper Easter grass, extra-miniature Easter ornaments.   

Directions: Print out the special Colors of Christ poem.  Color and cut it out, then glue it onto an empty baby food jar.  Decorate the lid with Easter grass, and glue miniature Easter ornaments into the grass.   

As you read the poem, below, have children drop two to three of each of the matching colored jellybeans into their jar.   

(Optional, using a child-friendly Bible version, and read Scriptures with poem.).  

“ORANGE is for Heaven so bright. (2 Samuel 22:13-14)  

YELLOW is for God's perfect light. (Revelation 21:23)  

BLACK is for the sins we've made. (Romans 3:23)  

RED is for the blood He gave. (Romans 5:8)  

WHITE is for our cleansing from sin. (Psalm 51:1-2)  

GREEN is for new life in Him. (Colossians 1:10)  

PINK is for His gift to share. (Matthew 28:19-20)  

PURPLE is for the crowns we'll wear! (2 Timothy 4:8)  

The witness of the Jelly Beans is true; trust in Jesus, because he loves you! (Romans 10:13)”  

Presentation idea: Cut colored poster board in the shape of jelly beans (make them extra large).  On the back of the poster, write the matching line from the poem. Have children stand side-by-side, hold up their jellybean when it's their turn, and then recite their line. Afterwards, distribute small packets of jellybeans along with the printed poem.
