How to try it

Put a firm floor cushion in a quiet corner with a basket of books beside it. Go there together for the last few pages before a nap or bed, so the corner becomes your calm, wind-down spot.

Materials

  • Floor cushion
  • Basket of books

Safety note

Keep the nook away from stairs, windows, and cords, and use only firm cushions rather than loose bedding.
