Ideas for Kids Play Room, Rain Gutter Book Shelves, and Library

We're sharing some great ideas today that you could use to create a space just for the kids....complete with their own library as well. All it takes is a little imagination to make a space like this fun for the kids.

Have you heard of rain gutter bookshelves? There easy to install and you can customize the size to fit any wall in your home.  Our wall quote "Imagination, because a good book has no ending" would be the perfect on the wall above the shelves. It's easy to do and it defines a space for a child's library. This darling playroom was decorated by my daughter and their kids love spending time in their own space-reading and creating.

This wall quote comes in two different colors but the quote comes in one piece......you won't have to put up "imagination" and then trying to match and center the sentence below. We make it easy for you. The paper banner is made up of colors that match the decor in the entire room so it is a great decor accessory,  easy to make and very colorful.

You can make these rain gutter bookshelves as long or as short as you like. How big is the blank wall you have? Customize it to fit any space in your home whether it's a large space or a small space.

There's a corner in this playroom that is very well organized with all the creative tools the kids need and use. There's a child-sized table next to it for coloring and creating, This system came from IKEA and is very affordable.

This reading corner is complete with a bean bag to sit on. Who knows, the kids may be so comfortable they may stay and while and read more in their own library.

The "LOVE" sign is so darling, and the distressed look is easy to do too. A piece of beadboard was used for the backing.

Material and a hoop is all you need for this darling wall decor.  Super Simple!

A place to hang up the dress-ups is easy with this shelf. 

Here's a easy tutorial for putting up Rain Gutter Shelves in your home.....and don't forget the vinyl quote to go above them......it will just finish the look!  Click HERE for the Vinyl Quote

Valentine's Day Book Marks and Tags for your little Readers! It's a Sugar-Free Gift

  By now you may all have out Valentine's Day book marks. Now we are sharing a fun way to package them or use them as an embellishment on a package of treats. Just wrap up the book marks in a Pretzel Bag, add one of our free tags ("You wrote the book on COOL") and you've made it an even more special Valentine's Day gift.

 Take it another step by using the wrapped book marks for the top of a wrapped package, whether it's a box of dollar candy or a box of chocolates or any other gift or even a large candy bar.

 Hot Tamales make a fun Valentine's Day treat. We wrapped up the box using cardstock, but you could use wrapping paper, newspaper or any other kind of paper.  Then cut out a piece of cardstock to use for the band that goes around the middle.  The dollar candy boxes are different sizes so just buy the candy you like and wrap it up accordingly. (We left the ends open)   Coordinate the paper you wrap the box, the band and the tag so you have a perfectly matching package. Then just attach the book mark to the top of the package. We used a 1.5" scallop punch for the tags. You could use up to 2" punch if you like.

We wrapped each book mark up individually but you could include 3 or 4 book marks within one package. Tie up with twine and then add the tag and finish with a bow.  You can get pretzel bags at any craft store (Where the chocolate molds and cake decorating things are sold)
