The base also features a rubber seal to prevent slipping, helping your bookends stay firmly in place even when little hands are pulling books in and out.

From playful dinosaurs and Aussie animals to letters, hearts and stars, there’s a design for every little learner and book lover.

Eco Friendly Timber

All of our bookends are made using responsibly sourced timber.

Timber is durable, long lasting and far kinder to the planet than plastic alternatives. It also gives bookends the strength needed to properly support books on kids shelves.

Good for your home and better for the environment.

Hand Made With Love

Every pair of bookends is carefully cut, assembled and painted by hand.

Because they’re handmade, every set has its own unique character, something you just don’t get from mass-produced bookends from big retailers.

These are fun kids bookends made slowly, thoughtfully and designed to last.

Australian Made

All knobbly. bookends are proudly made right here in Brisbane, Australia. We work in our off-grid, solar-powered studio, trying to make even better choices for our planet.

That means better quality control, thoughtful design and supporting a small Australian business rather than big box retailers.

The result? Bookends for kids that are sturdier, more colourful and far more fun than anything you’ll find in the flat-pack aisle.

Bookends work best placed on a flat, stable shelf.

For best stability, place heavier books closest to the bookend.

Our bookends include a non-slip base to prevent sliding, but stability will always depend on the surface they are placed on.
