Easter is right around the corner and many of us have community outreach events planned to celebrate the glorious resurrection of our Lord! What a perfect opportunity to invite families back for your Magnified event! Here are a few items I’ve created to this end.
Each of the resources below is available for download as a pdf or Word file and/or image. In most cases, I have also provided the Canva Template Link so that you may edit the file to make it better meet your needs.

MAGNIFIED EASTER INVITATION & CARD
For our big community Easter Outreach, we are handing out invitations to VBS. I made these up with the invite on one side and the Easter card on the other. You are welcome to use the Canva Link to add your own church info. These are sized for 4-to-a-page.
Not a Canva user? No problem! You can use these backgrounds in any program you work with. Then just add your church info.
If that still doesn’t work well for you, feel free to download the Word document below. Use the text boxes to edit your church info.
EASTER LOLLIPOP VBS INVITATION
Have you got some volunteers to insert lollipops in cardstock? Here’s another cute option for an Easter invitation. Just print these on cardstock, use an Exacto knife to cut two little slits in the bee or ladybug’s hand, and weave a lollipop through the slits (or, easier yet, just use glue dots or a glue gun!). So fun! You can use the Canva Template link or the Word document to enter your info (or right click on the image and save it as a png file).

SAVE THE DATE POSTCARDS
Here’s one idea for a Save-the-Date postcard with a giveaway. For about 20 cents each (at the time of this posting), I think these bee keychains are adorable! You could also replace the keychain with a simple piece of candy (glue dots work great for that)…or just use the post card as is with no attachments. With the postcard printed on cardstock, I found the easiest way to attach the keychain was a mini binder clip, but you could also experiment with taping it, tying it, etc. Use this Canva Template link to make your own changes in Canva or see below for non-Canva users.

The Word document below has these designs ready to add your own text. They are 4 to a page with a 1/4″ border around each postcard to accommodate most printer requirements.

SAVE THE DATE FLYER…WITH MAGNIFYING GLASS
Here’s another idea that would be super cute with a plastic mini magnifying glass attached (glue dots to the rescue!). Of course, the magnifying glass is just an add-on, so the post card could easily be used without one.

If you prefer to work in Word, this file is ready for you to simple type in the text boxes to add your own dates, website, etc. These are designed 4-to-a-page with a 1/4″ border around each card.

EASTER COLORING PAGES
If your Easter celebration/event includes activities for kids, here’s a little coloring page you could include. One leaves room for you to add the date of your VBS so it also serves as a Save-the-Date.
EASTER DOT MARKER PAGES
Our younger kiddos love dot marker pages! These are fun with dot markers/bingo daubers or use stickers for even less mess! You can use these with or without the Magnified logo.
Need dot markers? They can be a little pricey, but the decent ones last awhile. I found this set on Amazon—pretty good reviews and less expensive than a lot of the others.

BLACK AND WHITE FLYERS FOR EASY PRINTING
As much as I love full-color printing, not everyone has an affordable option for using all that ink. Here are some options for flyers that can simply be run off on colored paper. These are sized 5″ x 8″ so that you can fit two on a page with a 1/4″ border around each flyer. The Canva link is available for those who want to edit in Canva. Below you’ll find the png files and Word document for those who don’t use Canva.
If you prefer to work in Word, this file is ready for you to simple type in the text boxes to add your own dates, website, etc. These are designed 2-to-a-page with a 1/4″ border around each card. Both designs are in the same file.
Right click on either image below to download the high-resolution png that you can use in any program of your choice.
COLORING PAGE FLYER
Here are some other versions that can simply be printed on white and used as a coloring page for the kiddos. Of course, you can always choose to print on colored paper instead.
Here’s the Word version ready for you to simple type in the text boxes to add your own dates, website, etc. These are designed 2-to-a-page with a 1/4″ border around each card. Both designs are in the same file.

COLORING BOOKMARKS
Here’s another fun little Magnified promotion: Bookmarks that kids can color. Just make your edits, plop a few on a page, print them on cardstock, and slice them apart. Pretty simple bookmarks! You can use this Canva Template Link to edit in your own info.
