The 41 Best Easter Gifts for Kids of 2024
Just as fast as Christmas came and went, Easter is quickly approaching, and if you are starting to feel the pressure to find the perfect Easter gift for your child, you aren’t alone. Between parents and kids, the springtime holiday typically involves traditions like giving Easter baskets and indulging in a variety of chocolatey or sugary treats. However, it can also involve a wide range of activities, like egg hunting, playing games, decorating eggs, and more.
Showstopping gifts are not a necessary component of Easter, but for those whose love language is “gift giving,” finding a really cool gift for a kid can be a rewarding activity. “Easter is an opportunity to give something special to your kids and show them how much you value them,” says Daniel Szczesniak, founder of All Gifts Considered. Popular Easter gift options range from candy baskets to cuddly plushies, but “a general guideline is to aim for gifts that are meaningful and within your means,” advises Azhelle Wade, founder and CEO of The Toy Coach, explains.
To compile this list, we extensively researched the most popular Easter gift options for kids based on overall price, suitability for children, gift category, and value for money. We also asked Szczesniak and Wade for expert advice on finding the right gift. Whether the little one in your life is an avid reader or enjoys time outdoors, our list includes candy, toys, crafty DIY kits, stuffed animals, and books that will undoubtedly make them smile.
