All parents can agree that one of the greatest treasures to having littles is the ability to re-see the world, through their eyes. A snowfall, fireflies, fireworks- all things we as adults take for granted, are nothing short of magical to our kiddos getting to experience them for the first time. Having the luck to share these moments with our children is also pretty magical.
While the little moments are pretty fantastic in their own right, there are a couple times a year when those tiny eyes really sparkle- Easter, being one of them! Looking to make your toddler’s Easter extra special? We’ve rounded up some of the best easter gifts for toddlers!
