Show me your book shelves/storage

[microworm]

I'd like to get something small to store and organize the kids' books. Show me what you have. Links to products would be great too.

We copied what rainbowsockmonkey did, iirc




They are from ikea. The spice racks

We have so. Many. Books. I think we're beyond the small kids shelves. We need an adult book shelf for everything. I'll limit toys any day, but they can have as many books as they want. Currently, they're housed in 3 different places, one being a laundry basket.

+1 we currently have a half size bookshelf in DDs room. Has two shelves with two rows and it's over flowing. She loves book so that's one thing I don't limit.

Yeah, we have a bookshelf in DD'S room too. These are just the playroom books

Lol. I'm losing my historian title. I know someone on here did them.

I don't really have any more space in her room for a shelf and I love books so also don't limit them. I got rid of some old clothes that don't fit from her wardrobe and just use the bottom shelf which is large and she can easily open the door and sit and read them when we are upstairs. It's not interesting enough to take a pic though.

We have those in our basement play area. We also have a full book shelf in DD1s room and another bin of board books in the living room.

There's lots of cute kid kraft ones on Amazon. We went with the sling looking bookshelf- I have one in each of the boys rooms so I split the books in half that way and there's also books in two other baskets - one each level of the house. So I'm team spread the books out.

We have a lot on a bookshelf in DS's room and the ones he's into the most are in a bin in his play area.

Oh I like the sling kid kraft ones. Do you have any complaints about them?

[Susan0utLoud]

We have one similar to Kid Craft, Saganizer (lol!). It works just fine, just not big enough for us. We don't have a play room so all books go in the same room.

We have this too! We also don't have a play room so this is what we can work with.

[microworm]

Ordered the Saganizer one because cheaper. Thanks guys!

[becole]

Yeah the sling doesn't fit as many books but the kids can see the books and he's more likely to pick one up and read it when it's displayed. You could do a basket by the sling and rotate the books.

[bliz1712]

I saw this and thought it was cute. You use your leftover crib bumpers

Otherwise I like the ikea shelves

[microworm]

So we got the Sanagizer last night and DS1 was very excited about it. Until I told him that it was not for storing his cars...
