Spring Gift Ideas

Holiday and Hearth Holiday & Hearth Lisa Anne Novelline craft blog The Dance of Spring

Though celebrations should be about the season and togetherness rather than materialism, a wonderful way to help children enjoy holidays is through the exchange of small, meaningful gifts, especially ones that may help clarify the idea behind the festival for them. One such gift is a book to be read and enjoyed as a family. Small symbols of the season are lovely as well.

At our last Spring Equinox Celebration, I authored a tale of spring; my son illustrated it, and together we published our creation. We then gave family and friends a copy of it along with a sweet-as-could-be 5-inch Gund bunny representing one of the book’s main characters and holding a tiny basket of goodies (made by using a glue gun and appropriate miniature items purchased from Michaels Stores). In addition, we offered a small pot of daffodils, a chocolate bunny, and some bubbles (for blowing outside in the spring air) as accompaniments.
