How to Create a Cozy Book Nook for Kids

We love reading in this house. If you come over, you will see that we have books in every nook and cranny, including the bathroom! It takes some time to develop a love of books but having a special place for your child to read helps.

Now I know we said we have books all over the place but I made sure to include a cozy reading nook in each of my littles’ rooms.

When creating a cozy book nook, you want it to fit your child’s personality.

Think about a cute chair, bean bag, and lots of pillows or stuffed animals. Some cool lights or a tent are a fun idea to add to your child’s book nook.

Always make sure that the books are within reach. So, for your toddlers, think about book spaces that are low to the ground. Consider taller bookcases for older kids or even taller kids (please keep in mind fall risks and anchor any bookshelves to the wall).

Book baskets are always popular in book nooks, as well as, book ledges. These displays of books make it easy enough to change out the books seasonally if that’s your thing.

It doesn’t take much to create a book nook, and you probably have everything already at home.


Let me know how your child’s book nook comes along!
