Purchasing 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 editions with heavily illustrated pages of characters will provide wonderful and thoughtful gifts for the preschoolers and other little ones who may have just started school. In the time period before this holiday, be sure to read to them every single night at bedtime. They will have fond memories of these special times when they get older. It will also increase their imaginative capacities and creativity.

Simple versions can be purchased that elementary school students will find very easy to read. There is such a wide selection of themes such as humor, adventure, and true stories to flip through and read by themselves. The illustrations will give them cues that assist with their vocabulary. Older brothers and sisters can read aloud to younger siblings and practice their new found skills and promote bonding between family members.

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.

Winsome rabbits always seem to the the main characters in many of the holiday stories as do lambs and baby chicks. Accompany the gifts with matching stuffed animals to go along with all of the reading materials. You can even buy hand puppets and act out the stories and poems.

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.
