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.

The larger sizes of the volumes with pages of illustrations and designs make wonderful presents for the kindergartners and preschoolers that you know. In the days and weeks before this holiday arrives, make a point to read to this sleepy heads every night before this special holiday arrives. They will always recall this time of their life as very memorable and unique. You can also take credit for expanding their creativity and imagination.

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.

Some of these editions can be of a religious nature, giving kids the history of how this holiday came about. The Bible accounts will engage and enlighten them and they can hear the same story every spring. Choose one to read during the holiday meal for a special touch and reminder of what this celebration is all about.

Selecting and purchasing these gifts will let all of the young ones you know just how special they are. They will speak to their hearts as they read or are read these stories and tales. You can wrap them as elegant gifts or stow them in handled baskets along with other toys, candy and treats. When the holiday is over, store them and take them out for next year's festivities.
