Elizabeth Johnson Helping your children keep the reason for celebrating Easter in their minds can be a challenge. We don’t want to purchase lots of candy for our toddlers anyway, so this is a great opportunity to establish a religious theme in our Easter gift-giving. But it may be a bit challenging to come up with religious Easter gifts for toddlers.
I hope this list of religious Easter gifts for toddlers will make starting this tradition with your children easier. Don’t get me wrong, I still put candy in my older children’s baskets, but they also expect religious activity books, game cards, and other Christian gifts.
So, let’s get into the list of religious gifts for toddlers.
Quiet Books or Busy Books
These marvelous little cloth books are the perfect Easter gifts for toddlers. Call them Quiet Books or Busy Books, regardless they are something both you and your child will enjoy. This Bible Quiet Book is perfect to bring to church and they are washable if your toddler nibbles on the pages.
Usually, they are equipped with a zipper to close the Busy Book for easy storage. But the best feature is the interactive buttons, snaps, figures, and doodads that can keep your toddler occupied for hours.
Clothes as Religious Easter Gifts for Toddlers
Kids are constantly growing, so clothing is always an excellent Easter gift idea for Toddlers. These “I am one of his lambs” religious shirts are wonderful for your littles to change out of their nice church dress-up clothes, but show their celebration for the day. And the bonus is that they can get so much more use out of them.
Reusable Sticker Pads
Reusable sticker pads make a wonderful religious Easter gift for toddlers that are too young for religious activity books. I use activity books for my other children at church, but a small toddler can’t do connect-the-dot, crosswords, or word searches.
A sticker book is a wonderful thing to use to occupy toddlers during church. They are entertained, but the focus is still on celebrating God and biblical stories. It helps relieve any guilt you may feel as a parent.
I also love that they are reusable, so it’s a one-time investment making an Ester gift for toddlers that keeps on giving.
Bible Stories Water Reveal Pad
I L-O-V-E water reveal pads because my kids love them too. They get some really quality activity time while using these pads. So, anything that engages small children for a while is a win in my book.
In particular, the Bible Stories Water Reveal Pad is a perfect Easter gift for toddlers, but it would make a wonderful Christmas gift as well.
All you need to use these pads is water. It comes with a stowaway aqua brush, so it travels with you very easily. This is a win for moms that want to allow their children to have a painting experience without setup, mess, or cleanup.
Magnetic Board Easter Gifts for Toddlers
Again, I love Easter gifts for toddlers that are activities that can be reused. Magnetic boards are similar to sticker pads in the sense that your child can make a scene using the animals and people, rearrange them, and store it away for another day.
The metallic case makes for easy storage and travel.
Teething Rosary for Toddlers
Well, this one may be a bit odd to some, but I thought it was a pretty cute idea. The Chews Life Teething Rosary is made from food-grade silicone and organic cotton cording with a safety clasp.
Don’t worry it’s not a blessed rosary, so don’t feel guilty about allowing your child to gnaw away at it. After all, little ones just want to be like their parents and if they see you using your rosary they will want one too. It’s much better to have this adorable teething rosary to offer instead.
They come in many different color combinations and make amazing Easter gifts for toddlers. Your child will likely enjoy it for years to come.
Religious Night Light for Toddlers
My son received a Roman “God Created Everything” Animal Cross Night Light for his baptism. And now I realize what an amazing gift it was.
Children always want a night light, so why not have one that reminds them that they are never alone. God is always with them even in their darkest time.
This makes night lights wonderful Easter gifts for toddlers, and in fact, I will be including one in my littlest’s basket. She’s getting to be old enough to want one when it’s bedtime.
There are so many to choose from. I’m thinking about getting her one with the classic guardian angel painting. This particular night light has a dusk-to-dawn sensor, and since my children never seem to turn off their nightlights that seems like a great feature.
Religious Easter Books for Children
Books are always a win as a gift for children. They don’t take up space and they encourage literacy. Books like “An Easter Egg Hunt for Jesus,” “God Gave Us Easter,” and “Little Duckling’s Easter Prayers,” are a wonderful way to keep your Easter holiday faith based.
They are colorful and enticing for little ones and make any easy transition for parents to bring up the true meaning behind Easter. There are so many choices I couldn’t include them all here, so browse the amazing selection on amazon or your local religious store.
Prayer Blankets as Eater Gifts for Toddlers
This is probably something you didn’t even think of, but it really does make a great gift for a toddler or baby. Your toddler is probably reaching the age of using a blanket in bed. What better blanket that one that wraps her in the word of the Lord.
These beautiful quilt blankets show your intention to envelop your little one in your faith. It is a special gift that can be passed on to her child someday.
Faithful Religious Easter Gifts for Toddlers
I hope these ideas help you to incorporate more of the reason for the season into your Easter baskets. It can be difficult to get children excited about religion, but when it is combined with the excitement of Easter they are eager to listen.
