My ADHD picked up when I saw a woodworker's post with a toddler bookcase tote so I made it for the family we are supporting for the holidays through Compass SF's Adopt-a-Family program. Made a lot of mistakes but I guess fixing them is also part of woodworking! Spread some joy this holiday season!

3/4 view of a wooden bookcase tote with handle and rounded edges. There are knots on the one side of it. It is sitting on top of a white mesh drawer liner with a table saw in the background.A blue painted toddler sized bookcase loaded up with various books including "Exploring Nature - Activity Book for Kids" by Kim Andrews, "A Color of His Own" by Leo Lionni, "The Going to Bed Book" by Sandra Boynton, "The Snowy Day" by Ezra Jack Keats, and "A Good Day" by Kevin Henkes. The bookcase tote is on hardwood floors.
