Easter Picture Books For Children

By Iva Cannon


The early-in-the-year holidays are definitely on the way and it is time to come up with personal and unique gifts for all the little ones in your life. Easter picture books for children always make interesting and wonderful presents for all the youngsters you know. Take the time to make a list of everyone you need to buy for before heading out on a shopping trip.

Heavy cardboard versions are wonderful for all of the toddlers on your list. The words are short but sweet and the story line very simple. They can also have unique features that allow these small ones to feel with their tiny but inquisitive hands. The soft fur of a tiny rabbit, the rough back of a box turtle, and the soft coat of a baby calf can all come alive through touch when special textures are used on the pages of illustrations.

Large volumes with glossy pages of fascinating characters make wonderful gifts for the preschoolers and kindergartners. In the weeks and days before this holiday, make a point to read to them every night before they go to sleep. They will remember this time as a very unique and special time in their lives. You will also be feeding their imaginations and adding to their special and unique creativity.

Find simple and easy-to-read versions for your young elementary readers. You will be able to locate so many adventurous, funny and strange-but-true stories that they can page through and read all by themselves. The pictures will help in giving them word cues and clues to assist with new and unknown vocabulary words. The older students can read to the younger or less literate one for practice and enjoyment.

Over-sized volumes can actually double as decorations in your home. Prop them on side tables, use them as centerpieces along with fresh flowers, and stack them on the coffee and side tables for holiday appeal. Look for the editions with colorful illustrations and unique illustrations.

Some common animals featured between these pages include ducks, lambs and rabbits. Give an accompanying stuffed pet to go along with the reading materials for special interest and impact. You can even make or buy hand puppets to illustrate the stories.

Religious works are also available. They tell the story of this wondrous holiday and how it came about. They explain that bunnies and colored eggs are not the most important things of the Sunday that it is celebrated. The family can actually read one of these stories at their holiday feast to help remind all of what they are truly celebrating.

Buying these very special items will show that you care about these youngsters. They are personal gifts that speak to the heart especially if you have gone to the time and effort of choosing the absolutely perfect ones for the special little ones in your life. Wrap them as gifts or, if they are small enough, tuck them into a woven basket with other holiday treats and toys. After this holiday is over, pack them up and take out the ones you have stored for the summer months.
