A great way to organize toddler's books.

My kids love books! We read to our little ones every night before bed and often throughout the day too. This being said it's obvious we have A LOT of books! Storing books for little ones can be difficult because they want to be able to get to the ones they want to read and they do this by looking at the covers of the books if they can't yet read. This is why bookcases don't work so well for toddlers and preschoolers. If they can't see the cover of the books then they end up pulling out all the books off the bookcase and it is hard for them to put them away after. I started putting books in bins and it seems to work wonderfully! They can easily see which books they want to read and once they are done can easily put the books back. Of course we do still have bookcases so what we do is rotate the kids books from the bookcases to the bins. This allows our kids to discover "new" books (they aren't brand new but new as in different) and keeps them interested in reading.

I keep a few bins in their room and also some in our living area. I was surprised at how many books fit into the bins and how nicely they fit.

This method of storing books has been working for not only our four year old but for our one year old also! How do you organize your kid's books and keep them interested in reading?
