Best Bookends for Kids

If you have a small space or don’t own enough bookshelves (let’s be honest, which book lover does?), bookends can be a lifesaver. Bookends for kids need to be sturdy, cute, and fit on a variety of surfaces. The options on this list fit those criteria. If you’ve been looking for a pair (or two) of bookends, here you go.

Best Bookends for Kids

20 Cute and Functional Bookends for Kids (and Adults)

Here are 20 of the best bookends for kids:

VA links Adjustable Bookends for Kids

VAlinks Adjustable Bookends for Kids - Best Bookends for Kids

This cute expandable bookend easily doubles as a desktop bookshelf and can hold everything from organizers to encyclopedias and of course, novels. It’s 7.48 inches tall and expands as wide as 19.3 inches. The only downside is that there are limited color options — it’s only available in pink.


Personalized Tractor Bookends

Personalized Tractor Bookends

This adorable tractor bookend set is perfect for nurseries and older kids who are into tractors. I love that they sit on a flat surface and can hold up heavier books with ease.


Personalized Animal Wooden Bookends

Personalized Animal Wooden Bookends - Best Bookends for Kids

Want to amp up the cuteness? Choose this personalized pair of farm-themed bookends. If you’re on the lookout for non-toxic toys and decor, these are made from wood and safe for kids’ rooms.


T-Rex Attack Bookends

T-Rex Attack Bookends

Are your kids obsessed with dinosaurs? Then, they’ll love this T-Rex bookend, complete with the kids being chased. It’s made from solid steel and heavier than it looks. It’ll hold up everything from chemistry textbooks to cookbooks.


Alphabet A-Z Bookends

Alphabet A-Z Bookends - Best Bookends for Kids

These alphabet-themed bookends are sweet and will be adored by kids just learning their ABCs. Just keep in mind that most customers found them to be lighter than expected — even though they were great quality regardless.


Muso Decorative Book Ends for Children

These wooden bears make for adorable bookends! Kids who love animals will be delighted by these ones. They’re made out of alloy steel and walnut wood, and available in two finishes — one darker one (pictured) and a lighter finish.


Cute Concrete Giraffe Bookends for Nurseries

Cute Concrete Giraffe Bookends for Nurseries and Kids Bedroom

Bring on the animals! These giraffe bookends are so cute! I’m obsessed with the pastel colors and almost Scandinavian design. They’re made from concrete and cement and can stand up to heavy books. Just be careful your kids don’t knock them about as they can actually break.


Sunny Safari Animals Set of 2 Wooden Bookends for Kids

Fantasy Fields - Sunny Safari Animals Thematic Set of 2 Wooden Bookends for Kids - Best Bookends for Kids

Here’s another pick for animal lovers. This safari-themed set of bookends is made from wood and hand-painted with lead-free water-based paint, making it safe for nurseries and younger kids.


Giraffe Family Bookends for Kids

Woodland Bookends

The woodland setting evoked by these bookends took my breath away at first sight. It’s another great nursery bookend pick and will bring nature into any room.


Joyvano Astronaut Bookends

I actually squealed at the sight of this set of bookends! How ingenious! If your kid is a space buff, they will love you forever for gifting them this set of astronaut bookends. They are made from resin and super sturdy for books of all sizes.

Baby Owl Bookends

Baby Owl Bookends - Best Bookends for Kids

I have a thing for owls, so I knew this list would not be complete with owl bookends. These wooden bookends would be perfect for nurseries and in bedrooms of owl-loving kids.


Sass & Belle Kids Bookends

These rainbow bookends are just darling! If your kid loves rainbows or is fascinated by the weather, this is the set for them.

Paris ooh la la! If your tween can’t get enough of Paris or Europe in general, they should be checking out this set of bookends (and this book list).


Harry Potter Hogwarts Bookends

Harry Potter Hogwarts Bookends - Best Bookends for Kids

Potterheads will love this pair of Hogwarts bookends. They’re made of metal and will probably occupy a bit more ground space than most bookends. But if you love Harry Potter, then they’re absolutely worth it.


Build your own feminist icon

This is another sweet set of nursery (or tween) bookmarks featuring various feminist icons. You can pick from a wide range of icons including Justice Ketanji Jackson, Michelle Obama, Sonia Sotomayor, and Jill Biden among others.


Rainbow Bookends
