Selecting Easter Picture Books For Children

By Iva Cannon


Spring holidays are on the way and it is time to think of unique and personal gifts for all of the youngsters in your life. Easter picture books for children make wonderful presents for any young person and there are so many themes and story lines you can look for. Make a list of all that you need before you head out to shop for these special little people.

The sturdy cardboard styles are perfect for the littlest toddlers on your long list. The wording is very brief but to the point. Some of these versions also have extras such as textured pictures so the young child can actually feel the long fox tail or the soft fur of a baby lamb. Their tiny fingers will be able to understand parts of the story as you read the story to them.

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.

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.

You can actually utilize larger volumes as decorations around the home. Use them as simple centerpieces with fresh flowers or potted plants in the middle of a table, or stack them on side and coffee tables for a fresh holiday look. Search for editions with unique illustrations and colorful 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.

Many of these are also religious works, telling kids the story of how this holiday began. These Bible stories will enlighten and engage them and they will look forward to hearing them every single spring. Make a special point of reading one of these during the holiday meal to remind everyone exactly why they are celebrating.

Show how much you love the youngsters in your life with these special gifts. They are very personal presents that speak right from the heart, especially if you have taken the time and energy to choose the perfect ones for these little ones. You can wrap them up as gifts or, if the size is right, place them in handled baskets along with candy and chocolates. When the holiday is past, just pack them up and take them out again next year to enjoy all over again.
