What exactly is a reading nook? A reading nook is a cosy reading space in your home!
Every eager and not so eager reader, no matter how old or how young, needs a reading nook! Whether temporary or well-established ones- reading nooks/ book nooks are awesome, especially during autumn and winter.
Your wee one might have had a busy day in nursery or primary school, then picking up a book in a well-organised reading nook is much more inviting than turning on the TV. Book nooks foster a love for books by providing the child with a quiet hideaway from the world.
Reading Nook essentials: Blankets, cushions, candles (obviously be careful if there is a wee one about), fairy lights (an absolute must in my opinion), a little table (for your hot chocolates or cups of tea) and a lamp or reading light. And, most importantly, BOOKS from your Wee Bookworms Book Subscription.
A lot of people also prefer to have a window view and their bookshelves nearby. Don't allow noisy or distracting toys in the reading nook!
Wee Bookworms little Reading Nook Guide:
- Pick a lovely spot in a room that is usually quiet. No TV, no radio, no distractions!
- You might need an arm chair or sofa, lots of cushions, a massive bean bag and a lamp. Your ultimate goal is to make it cosy!
- Store and display the books nearby. Really little ones might like books shelves that face outward. Book Boxes are also a great choice!
- Is your Reading Nook not cosy enough? Add some fairy lights+ some more uniqueness. You wonder how to do that? The photos below should give you some inspiration!
- Teepees!
- Let your creativity guide you! And above all, involve your child in the reading nook creation process.
Perfect locations for reading nooks -closet spaces (although that might be a little scary) or attic spaces.
Reading room/library. You could create a separate space with a curtain.
