The Easter Basket: a free large-print word search
Easter basket word search, free and large-print. Grass, ribbon, candy, and a chocolate egg or two, all tucked in and ready for Sunday morning.
About The Easter Basket
The Easter basket as most of us know it grew out of older European customs where food was brought to church on Holy Saturday to be blessed before the feast. Somewhere along the way the wicker gave way to cellophane wrap and pastel ribbon, and the boiled eggs made room for jelly beans and foil-wrapped chocolate. By the time a child spots that basket on Sunday morning, the grass is already halfway across the kitchen floor.
