Michelle Leslie on Aug 01, 2016Large white pebbles could work nicely. Perhaps you can write some quotes or messages on the pebbles with a Sharpie to encourage the kids to read and discover all the beautiful adventures waiting for them in the pages of a book.Helpful Reply

Renae Breskovich on Aug 01, 2016Think rusty junk that you can clear coat - buy the standard black metal bookends at an office supply store and then add gears, interesting mechanics and perhaps queue the bookends to the topic.Helpful Reply

Lynn Clugston on Aug 01, 2016I guess I have a few questions first as I have several ideas. Age group of the children, your budget, and how many you would need. The white pebble idea is cute but probably not a good idea for a school, with lots of kids safety wise, would be great in a home library. I do like the curtain rod idea and it would probably be pretty reasonable.Helpful Reply
