Who needs usual boring shelves or ledges when you can make a cool chalkboard pastel piece for toys and books? Your kid will chalk every item on the shelf himself or herself, it’s also a very creative piece. I also love the cute pastel color of the bookshelf, lavender. Making it will take some time and will require some skills for making but it’s worth it.
