Kids love reading nooks! Whenever we have play dates, kids are drawn to a sweet little window seat in our playroom. They love to sit there even though there are no cushions, books, artwork or anything. If they love it now, plain as can be, I can only imagine how popular it will be once I turn it into a reading nook.
