No child's room is complete without a solid, stylish, and dependable bookcase or book display. It's about more than just having a nice decoration to enjoy, it's about function. There are several very real benefits to choosing the right book display, and keeping it within your child’s reach.
One of our favorite
children's bookshelves is the Moon and Stars Media Carousel. This shelving system is made from solid hardwood, allowing it to stand up against rowdy youngsters and years of wear and tear. It also has a cool style as well as a compact design that will fit in any bedroom. And since it’s a carousel; plenty of books will fit and your child will have easy access.
Benefits of giving your child his own bookcase include:
- Books are easier to reach and in plain site, thus encouraging him to pick one up and read! Place your child’s favorite books right up front where he can see them best. The bright covers and pictures of his favorite characters will beckon to him from anywhere in the room. More reading time means faster learning and better language skills. He'll also stay out of trouble. He can't be making a mess if he's busy reading Mother Goose.
- You will have fewer lost or damaged reading materials. Kids are rough on everything, and although the book carousel can’t guarantee he won’t draw in the pages or bend the covers—having one will greatly lower your chances for damages. With a clear and easy to reach place to put things away, kids will be more likely to actually DO it. If the bookcase is too tall or in another room; your child may forget, neglect, or just plain not feel like taking it across the house.
- Rooms will stay tidier. It’s a known fact: the easier it is for a child keep things picked up, the better the chances that he will make an effort. That means large toy boxes, labeled cubbies, and yes, book displays are all great ideas for keeping your child’s room neater. Teaching him to use those things…
• Style is important too! The Moon and Stars Book Carousel has fantastic detailing around the sides and a fun round shape. Having your child’s room designed with attractive decor adds to the overall appeal of your home.
And getting back to the clean factor… if his room is a place he’s proud to call his own, he may be more likely to keep it that way. Just a thought.
