Jelly Beans and the Bible

One of the most popular and classic candies around Easter is the Jelly bean.  Using the traditional colors of the Jelly Beans, children and adults can recount the Easter Story or the Roman's Road (Bible verses about salvation).  This year I modge-podged my original poems and scriptures on a tin to retell, as well as secured the poem using plastic lace to easter eggs to pass out as treats.  See the below for a template to replicate.
