Sebastian and Madeline’s rooms are right across from each other and have this blank wall in between. When I was cleaning out their rooms recently I had a bright idea! I would make book ledges in between to put all their books. They are only 19 months apart and therefore are interested in similar lengths and ages of books.
Before this bright idea they each had piles of books on their books shelves that were hard to get to and overwhelming. I took this opportunity to clean out the books and put them all away in a large tote except for about 20, these would go on the ledges. I would swap them out about every month or so, while also adding in seasonal/holiday books when the time was right. Hoping this would inspire us more to read!
