Last Easter my Mom and Dad started Sweet Pea’s Easter collection off with a bang! I thought I’d share some of my favorite Easter Books for Kids you as well as list a few other collection must haves. As a double bonus (just for you) I’ve attached links to some pretty fantastic activities for each of the books. Happy Reading!

Sparkling Easter Eggs A Glittery Counting Book by Ivanke
This glittery egg-shaped book is truly a favorite of ours! With bright colors, textured eggs and a sweet peek-a-boo bunny featured on each page it is a special little book. Learning to count of course is the goal of this book but you can also teach your little one some fun colors. Each page features brilliant shades of colors such as teal and violet.
PBS offers so many amazing activities but here is a link to the counting games. There are so many games to choose from featuring the characters your little one knows and love. http://pbskids.org/games/counting.html

Peter Rabbit is great for kids, any time of year!
I need to go through our books so I can find the Easter ones for my little dude!
We have all the Laura Numeroff books ( I thought), but not this one. My son is too old for them, now, but I’m still tempted to get it. 🙂
Great books! I love The Tale of Peter Rabbit!

Sweet T’s favorite book all year round is “Bunny’s Easter Bonnet.” I have it memorized. Maybe I should introduce some of these books instead.
