Kids shelves

Adding children's shelves in your sons' and daughters' rooms will not only serve to store books and look great, but it could even make your little ones begin to develop the habit of reading. Promoting a love of books can help your child have better academic performance and also provides many benefits to their development.

For this reason, the best thing you can do is place a children's bookcase in the space where your child feels comfortable to enjoy reading, do homework or have fun with children's games and toys.

What to take into account when choosing children's shelves

A good rule of thumb when choosing quality children's bookshelves is that they are the right size: you want your child to be able to reach the books independently and not have to worry about them falling over.

Likewise, the storage of this furniture should be low. Many children's shelves have additional storage elements such as boxes, cabinets, etc. Some even have seats for children to perch on while reading. So make sure these details are within reach of your little one.

The size of this piece of furniture will also determine the look and function within your child's space. It is important that you take into account the measurements of the room in which you are going to place it before purchasing it.

Another important factor when buying children's bookcases is the design you want for your little one's space. They are available in a wide variety of designs, and allow books to be displayed in different ways for different readers, for example, with the covers facing out it is much more accessible for younger children who cannot read the covers as easily.

There is no right or wrong size or design for your children's room or playroom, but you should try to buy something specifically designed with his age and safety in mind.

What copies to include on a children's book shelf

There are so many wonderful books to choose from that it can be difficult to decide what to put on your son or daughter's shelves. As a general rule, young children like books with the three R's: rhyme, rhythm, and repetition. Choose books that are the right length for your child and that fit his or her changing interests.

From 0 to 5 years old, buy your child books that contain:

  • Animals and animal noises.
  • Cars, trucks, fairies, castles, trains, princesses and other favorite themes.
  • Related topics and activities.
  • Movable pieces with flaps.

When your child enters preschool age, change the books for others with:

  • Alphabet, shapes, sizes and counting topics.
  • Simple stories about family, friends and school.
  • Extravagant characters and children more or less the same age.
  • Humor and fun.
  • Dinosaurs, the ocean, inventions, culture and other particular interests.
