Pouf! Cute, eco & kid-friendly

Along the lines of the bean bag, I discovered some truly beautiful and affordable eco-friendly items at Crate & Barrel. For instance this "pouf" ottoman, which comes in LOTS of colors, not just these more grown-up stripe fabrics. I imagine buying a bunch of these for the playroom, so Gregory and Timmy (eventually) could use them to construct forts, throw at each other and lounge around on. Then, when we need extra seating or a place to sit a tray of finger food, voila! Thing is, they are $249 each, so sadly not in budget at the moment to buy in bulk.
