Hey there! Easter is a special time, and we have a fun activity for you. Let’s draw an empty tomb together! We’ll use simple steps and easy materials. So, grab your markers, paper, and coloring tools, and let’s get started!
First, let’s draw the big rock in front of the tomb. Instead of a perfect circle, make it bumpy to look more like a real rock. Connect the ends to make a round shape.
To make the rock look thick, draw a backward “C” shape next to it. Connect the bottom to finish the rock.
Rocks have texture! Draw small dents or tiny rocks on it. You can place them anywhere you like.
Now, let’s draw the opening of the tomb. Start with a bumpy line going to the left, then draw another bumpy line going down. Make sure it lines up with the bottom of the rock.
Next, we’ll draw an olive tree beside the tomb. Start with a wiggly line for the trunk and make it go up. It’s okay if part of the tree goes off the paper.
Draw branches coming out from the trunk. Use wiggly lines and make them thicker near the tree. For leaves, draw round or oval shapes on the branches. Do this for each branch and fill your tree with lots of leaves.
To finish the tomb, draw a bumpy line on top, overlapping the branches and leaves to make it look deep. Then, draw a hill in the background with a diagonal bumpy line connecting to the tree.
Let’s add three crosses in the background. Draw a tall cross in the middle and shorter ones on each side.
Inside the tomb, draw the table where Jesus was laid. Start with a line from the stone, then make a rectangle for the table.
Draw another bumpy line at the bottom for the base of the tomb. Connect this line to the rock and add a few small rocks on the floor for extra detail.
Great job! You’ve finished the outline of your drawing. Now it’s time to add color. Use markers or any coloring tools you have. Feel free to use your favorite colors!
We hope you had fun drawing the empty tomb with us! Take your time coloring your artwork, and remember, the most important part is to have fun and be creative. Wishing you a happy Easter filled with joy and love. Happy drawing!
Rock Hunt Adventure: Go outside and find different rocks in your garden or park. Look closely at their shapes and textures. Can you find a rock that looks like the one you drew? Take a piece of paper and try to draw one of the rocks you found. Notice the bumps and dents, and try to add them to your drawing.
Tree Observation Walk: Take a walk with a family member and look at the trees around you. Notice the shapes of the trunks, branches, and leaves. Can you find a tree that looks like your olive tree drawing? Try to draw a new tree you see and add your own creative touches, like different leaf shapes or extra branches.
Story Time with Your Drawing: Use your drawing of the empty tomb to tell a story. Imagine what might happen around the tomb. Who might visit it? What might they see or hear? Share your story with a friend or family member, and ask them what they think might happen next.
