Top 7 Books for Preschoolers and Kindergarteners to Add Magic to Your Playroom Design
With over a decade designing commercial and residential children environments, I can tell you first hand how incorporating the right elements can transform a playroom into an inspiring and captivating space of wonder and learning. One of the best ways to achieve this transformation is by incorporating carefully selected books that ignite imagination and foster a love for reading.
Every playroom should have a quiet space, a space where we invite children to take some time to reconnect to themselves, to read, to take time on their own or even cuddle and read with us. With so much access to screens now (at home and even in schools), there are so many children loosing the good habit of reading and creating a quiet space with access to their favorite books, is the perfect way to increase the love for reading and inspire imagination. Books are so much fun for little ones even if they don't know how to read, as they encourage their independence and imagination, just by looking at the pictures and experiencing the different textures.
There are plenty of other benefits for reading to your little ones from a young age:
1. Creates unique connection between you and your child
