Who loves a good book shelfie?! It’s time to get ready for spooky season with some not-so-scary toddler-friendly Halloween books that your little ones will love! If you read my blog post, How to Create a Cozy Reading Nook in your playroom or nursery, you’ll know that one of my tips is to Keep Things Moving. What I mean by that is to update this space every now and then to keep things exciting and feeling new.
Simply rotating the books and switching out a few decor pieces will keep your kids coming back to this space again and again. And what better time to do that than ahead of the holidays?! A themed book wall is the perfect motivation to switch things up!
Three Tips for Creating a Halloween-Themed Shelfie:
- Gather all your Halloween Books!
Since you want to build excitement in anticipation of the holiday, I would recommend updating this space about a month in advance, sometime around mid- to late-September or even right around October 1st. Gather all your Halloween books so they’re ready to display!
- Add a Festive Garland.
Adding a festive garland is a cute addition to these shelves. It adds texture, a pop of color, and can be draped along the ledges in so many different ways. Here are some great garland options!
- Add Seasonal Decor.
Here’s where you get to have some fun! Stuffed toys, stick-on bats, pumpkins, or artwork are just a few ideas of things you can add to cozy up this space. I also love a good letterboard with some fun quotes!
Here are a few ideas:
- Let’s Give ‘Em Pumpkin to Talk About
- It’s the most BOO-tiful Time of the Year!
- Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun
- Too Cute to Spook
- Let’s Have a Spooky Good Time!
Pro Tip: Store all your books and related decor together so that its ready to go when the time comes around and they’ll feel brand new. Even if you are using the same decor pieces year after year, there are so many ways you can rearrange them to make it look and feel new.
