Our little guy has started to show more interest in books and it has been so much fun to read with him. We have a few favorites to read that are also super cute and look great around the house. Win win for mom and baby!
Like the toys, we have books scattered around the house in baskets or bins in each room. I like to have access to a few things at all times. Plus varying what we play with in each room seems to keep our son's interest. Every few weeks I gather the toys and switch them up in each room.
We have quite a few books and only read certain ones at this point so they usually stay in the same place. I have incorporated the books into our shelf decor both in our living room and our son's bedroom. The ones that fit in with my neutral with hints of blue color palette get corralled in our living room space. These wire baskets are also perfect for being able to see what is in each basket while still looking stylish (please excuse my TJ-Maxx price tag still on one!). I use the white bins and wicker baskets for hiding not as pretty toys.
I don't love having toys and books spread out all over the place. But if I am going to have to look at it all day, they might as well be cute. I am a sucker for anything bright and cheerful. They add a sweet pop of color to our fairly neutral house and nursery.
So here is a list of some of our favorite board books:
