Read & Draw Sling Bookshelf

by Hape

The Hape Read & Draw Sling Bookshelf gives your child one familiar place for books, drawing and pretend play.

Children often look for a corner of home that feels like it belongs to them, even if it is just beside the lounge or near the play mat. The Read & Draw Sling Bookshelf gives that feeling a clear place to land, with books, drawing and make-believe all gathered around one child-sized station.

The Spot They Drift Back To

Some days it starts after breakfast, when your little one wanders over and chooses a book from their read-and-draw spot. Other days, it becomes the place they pause with paper before running back to the rest of the room. Eventually, it can feel less like a toy being brought out and more like a small part of home life: the place they visit when they want a quiet page, a quick drawing or a bit of pretend play on their own terms.

Product overview

Where Reading, Drawing and Pretend Play Meet

There is a stage where choosing what to do feels just as important as doing it. At first, your child may go straight for a book. Soon, the same little station might become a drawing place. Before long, it can turn into a pretend library, shop or desk, depending on the day. That is the lovely part of the Read & Draw Sling Bookshelf: it does not need to lead the play. It simply gives your little one a place to begin, return to and call their own.
