Storage Shelf On Wheels – A Teacher’s Helper
February 8, 2012
My best friend is a teacher at an elementary school, and being an instructor she comes across lots of new, innovative storage options and every kind of storage shelf you could think of. She just loves showing me all of her new favorite organizational tools, in the hopes that I will blog about it here on Shelves Blog (and make sure it mentions her, of course). Being a kindergarten teacher, my friend has lots of books and toys to clean up at the end of the school day.
Well the latest item that she has been raving about for the last couple of weeks is this small rolling book truck cart. This incredibly simple but extremely useful bookcase features three shelves and four wheels for easy mobility. It is perfect for quickly organizing a room in seconds flat! It is made from steel, so it has excellent durability. (This, to anyone who has ever taught little ones would know, is very important!)
When clean up time rolls around (like it tends to do every day) it is a simple task to roll this storage shelf from one end of the room to another and pick up all the tiny little messes the children leave. Hardcover picture books go on one shelf, Legos and other toys on the second shelf, and games on the third shelf! The handles on the top of this rolling truck make it easy for anyone to push, from a full grown adult to the tiniest of elementary schoolchildren. When clean up time is finally over, my friend can just push this rolling bookcase into a corner, lock two of the casters and be on her way.
