Religious Gifts for Toddlers
Show a toddler you love that dedication to God is an important part of her life. Religious gifts are a perfect keepsake for a toddler who is being baptized. You can also give a religious gift for a Christian holiday, such as Christmas or Easter. Another way to remind the toddler about the importance of spirituality is to give a religious birthday gift to her. Does this Spark an idea?

Christmas
-
Give a figurine for Christmas. Christmas is the perfect time to remind a toddler that God is the reason for the season. A Nativity scene with figurines that the toddler can play with is an age appropriate gift that she can enjoy. Another idea is to give an angel figure that can be placed at the top of the Christmas tree. You could take a stained glass class to learn how to make a stained glass angel to set on a shelf in the toddler's room as well.
Easter
-
Give an Easter egg with a cross on it. Christians celebrate Easter as the day that Jesus rose from the dead. Easter eggs are a traditional gift. Give a crystal Easter egg that has a Christian symbol, such as a crucifix, on it. You can fill cheap plastic Easter eggs with religious items, such as a rosary and prayer cards. Scatter the eggs around your house and help your toddler hunt for them.

Baptism
-
Give a cross for a baptism gift. A toddler's baptism is a time to celebrate her becoming closer to God. Lead the toddler in her journey to grow spiritually. Purchase a personalized gift for the toddler's baptism that she can keep for years to come. A cross that is personalized with the toddler's name on it is a perfect addition to her room. You can also purchase a personalized baptism photo frame and photo album.
Birthday
-
Birthdays are another occasion to celebrate Christ. A birthday is the perfect occasion to remind a toddler that she is a child of God. Toddlers love to play with toys, so purchase a toy from a Christian store. In addition, make the toddler a gift that prominently displays a scripture verse. As an example, you could purchase a pillow from a craft store and sew your favorite Bible verse on the front of it. Also give a leather bound Bible that the toddler can hold on to throughout her adulthood.
