Kids Book Cases
There are a lot of versatile furniture pieces you can get for your nursery when you are expecting a baby. When you invest money in these things, your best bet is to buy items that you can use for more than just a few years. A changing table is not going to be much good past two years old, but it can be if you bought something that has a removable table on the top. One thing that your baby can use for a long time to come would be kids book cases. They can remain the same, but what you put on them changes as they grow.
Kids book cases for newborns are not going to be filled with books, but you do want to use some of the space on these to start building a good book collection. Children that are exposed to book early will be more interested in reading as they grow. You can start sharing books with your baby as young as you wish. Young babies like to see books that have a lot of colorful pictures. They can have a lot of detail or a little, babies do not care. They are also especially interested in books with pictures of other babies. They are born with the need to pick out human faces for survival reasons, so they love these books the most when young.
Other than books, you can put just about anything on kids book cases when they are very young. These are great places to store just about anything in the nursery. You can put toys there that they are too young to play with, and you can also store keepsakes you may have gotten at your baby shower. As long as your baby has yet to crawl, you can feel safe putting anything on there. However, when they start to move around, you may have to move things around.
As your baby grows and move around more, you want to make sure everything that you have on kids book cases are things that you want them to have access to at all times. This should be books that they can leaf through without ruining them (like cardboard books), toys that fit on the shelves, and sets of things like blocks and rings that they can play with whenever they wish. Make sure they can reach things so that they don't climb the shelves and get hurt.
You children will use your kids book cases for a long as they grow, right on up through high school. They may have these filled with toys at one point, and then more and more books. Your teenagers may have some book and perhaps other important things like jewelry boxes, framed photos, and scrapbooks. The best thing about book cases is that you can usually put anything you want on them and they work out well. Tall items may have to go on top, but as long as something fits on a shelf, it can find a home there. Paint them, use them, rearrange them. They are one of the longest lasting items from any nursery.
