Every year my daughter tells my two grandchildren.. the easter story and make little bisuits that look like a little tomb and each step of making them is a different verse from the Bible.. and when you bight into the biscuit.. the tomb is empty.. (they are hollow). The kids look forward to it. Marilyn

The washing of the feet is not something I have ever thought about doing with my children, even though I am familiar with it from an adults perspective. If you get the chance, share, with their reactions.
