I always love to include (at least) one book in my kids’ Easter baskets. While you know I like to make sure the little ones have a book introducing the holiday, learn to read/easy readers and chapter books are great to slide in the baskets as well. I’m also not opposed to a special picture book. We always hide our baskets for the kids to find so, ideally, I like books that will fit inside the basket. (Ours are not big, intentionally.)
This year I did get three picture books from a series (one for each kid but to share.) I know they won’t fit so I plan to prop them against the fireplace. If it doesn’t fit, no big deal; you make the rules. Prop it somewhere or you can even make a special bunny trail of eggs for the kids to follow and find the books. Keep them entertained and delay that candy as long as possible, ha!
