Easter Garden Gift Ideas

By Trish Whitinger

We've put together some great gardening gift ideas for your Easter Baskets and Spring Gifts for 2019. All of these ideas are garden themed and thoughtfully chosen for instilling (or displaying!) a love of gardening and the natural world.

Top Toys:

Little Tikes Garden Table - this is too cute for words. Little ones can use it with water to plant real pots, or just for pretending. Made of extremely durable plastic, Little Tykes toys last for years and years making these great investments. If your little helper loves to garden, this toy will keep them happy for hours.

Learning Resources New Sprouts Grow It! - this gardening set by Learning Resources is perfect for letting your child pretend to grow both flowers and vegetables. Easy to hold, this set is delightful for the 18 month- 3 year old age group (although older siblings always seem to want to join the fun as well!). We really like this toy for its durability and extended imaginative play.

Books:

Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt - I love Kate Messner's books and Up in the Garden does not disappoint! Listed as grades 1-3, we think it is suitable for preschoolers and toddlers who can sit for a story just as well! This is a sweet book that you don't want to miss.

The Little Gardener and I Can Grow a Flower - These books are also wonderful for getting small children interested and excited for gardening

More excellent choices to consider:

Mrs. Peanuckle's Flower Alphabet and Planting a Rainbow

Gardening Lab for Kids - for those a little older, this Gardening Lab book is perfect for beginner gardening experiments that teach kids how to grow things while having a great time learning.

Tools for Little Tykes

Every little garden helper needs their own set of tools to properly work.

JustForKids Kids Garden Tools Set

JustForKids Soft Jersey Kids Garden Gloves

Clever Kid Toys Kids Gardening Set - this package give you everything you need to "grow" a new gardener. I love how complete it is, yet simple enough to be enjoyed by children without being overwhelming.

Accessories

Toddlers Dress Up Plush Flower Handbag Set - what dress-up-loving toddler can resist a sweet flower handbag with necklace, earrings, and hairbow to match? (Hint- not very many of them!)
