I was forwarded a neat idea for an 8 day walk with Christ - I made my own templates
(found at www.jackshandsjillsheart.com under the occasion/holiday tab, which includes the box template and the files) and I've seen little paper boxes that hold 6 Easter egg chocolates. So I designed a template on the computer to hold 8 plastic Easter eggs:I sent the images so my plotter could cut them all out, but I had to score them by hand - that was a lot of work ;) But my friend Cari helped me put these together:

BUT make sure your sizes match up before printing them on nice paper. All I did was upload them separately because you can only print out 1 box bottom per paper as well as 1 box lid. I was able to fit 2 box insides on an 8 1/2 x 11 size of paper. Or you could make a stencil/template and just trace them onto paper too - I got 3 box insides for a 12 x 12.
We had to cut up all the scripture references, thoughts and stories and then fold them:
And glue the box together and then the vellum sheet that had instructions:

There are scripture references and thoughts with M&M's in the eggs, the stories we put in envelopes to go with the corresponding day.
I was panicked trying to find small plastic Easter eggs after visiting and not finding them at Target, Walmart, JoAnns, Michaels & World Market (claiming to be Easter Headquarters - haha - they didn't even have regular size plastic eggs! I seriously thought about telling them to take their sign down ;) Hello, I had already cut out my boxes and there had better be some small Easter eggs somewhere!! I finally found them at Fred Meyer and they were even SUPER cute =)

I'm in awe of your creative genius. Your YW are so lucky to have you.
Ditto to Fawn's comment
I really like this idea! Do you have files for the things you printed? I was thinking about doing this with my senior primary group next week.

Would you mind share with me the files for the things you printed? I would like to make these wonderful eggs for the ladies I Visit Teach. Thanks,Cindy
I would agree with the above comment. I too would like to know if you would share the files for the things you printed. It is an excellent idea that I would also like to share with the ladies I visit teach, as well as the young girls I teach in Achievement days.
Thanks, Joleen...

I love this idea. I also cannot find the link to the pdf files, just the link at the top to the original 8 days... I would love directions on how to find the link or a copy of your files if you still have them. I love your site and your creativity.
Thanks hmdavis@uas.alaska.edu

I love your site and appreciate your willingness to share your talents. I purchased the easter egg box template last week and when the files downloaded to my computer, the copy and print options were disabled. I was not able to copy or print the template. Is there something else I can try to make this work? P.S. the customer service link on your site is not working.
Thanks Jean! The customer service link is working - I did get your email there =)
I love this idea. I'm having no luck finding any pdf for it or any other links. Any suggestions? Thanks
The PDF file is connected to the link in the post - I'm sorry it isn't working for you =( If you check back, try again?
I just found your blog, via google. We are actually doing the Christ Walk for our Relief Society Birthday Dinner/Easter Activity. I am wanting to purchase your box template as well as the other items included in the $1 price, but when I click the link, there is nothing there and my total for paypal is $0.00 Is it possible to order? Please email me any information you can, or how to pay for it via paypal! Thank You!

Hello, I would love to purchase your box template, but all I found on your website was the files for the printouts. Can you direct me to where the templates are? Thanks!
I also wanted to know if you were still offering the files. I'm trying to figure out what to do for my Easter lesson. Thanks! mmheiney@gmail.com
I just ordered the files. I got the scripture reference/story ones and the box template. The files are still there and working.
Thanks for sharing! I'm excited to do this with the YW in my branch.
