Treasures in Heaven

For very young children, I like what we did last year:

We used rocks to represent sacrifices made each day during Lent and have those plain, ugly rocks "turn into" beautiful polished colored stones Easter morning - all of our sacrifices build up treasures in heaven.

We pile them on our prayer table each day throughout Lent and watch those ugly rocks build up! It was so wonderful to see my son's face light up when he saw all the treasure he had in heaven. ;)
