Children as naturally curious and playful. They will marvel at almost anything that you place in front of them including toys and books. Unfortunately, they are also likely to make a mess out of the room with their playthings. Getting a storage unit for these is a good idea. The type will be up to you. You can get a box, a shelf, or a caddy. The last one is getting more popular because of the following:
Low Height
A shelf might prove to be too big and too tall for kids. Caddies tend to be a foot or so high so children can easily reach in from the top or the sides. They can get up close with the titles with the open top so it would be a cinch to pick out the item they want. They can play by themselves without calling out for mommy or daddy.
Organize Books and Toys
Caddies generally have two levels. The top is V-shaped and is perfect for organizing books, though you can always turn the book caddy into a stuffed toy caddy, a mealtime caddy, or whatever else that pops into mind. The bottom layer is typically flat and meant to hold tiny toys like miniature cars, dolls, and so on. It may also hold a cup and shallow boxes.
Develop Cleaning as a Habit
A book caddy is small enough for personal use. It can be given as a birthday gift to kids. This can teach them to take ownership of their books and other trinkets. Let them take responsibility for keeping it clean and organized. Make sure that they are the ones solving their mess after playtime to develop the habit.
Move It around as Needed
These are compact, lightweight, and portable. They can be moved from one room to another in case you need or want to. Just make sure to remove breakable items before carrying it around. You can hold the caddy on both ends with their virtual handles.
Easy to Assemble
You will probably get these in a flat pack which saves on packaging and storage costs. Don’t worry as assembly should be easy with instruction included in the box. You will be done with it in a few minutes. Start populating it with the best books you can find. The children will surely love it.
Get a book caddy for your kids and be amazed at its utility.
