Every time my daughter receives a stuffed animal as a gift, I can barely suppress a groan. What is it about them? The kids love to snuggle with them, but there's a limit to how many can fit in a bed, much less a closet!
That's why I love the Boon Oval Animal Bag. This one is green, but it also comes in pink, and that's the one I bought for my daughter. Once it arrived, we pulled out all the stuffed animals I'd tucked away in various places to fill it up. It holds a TON of animals. In fact, as many as we had, we didn't actually get it filled enough for it to be as firm as a typical bean-bag chair. I padded out some of the extra space with extra winter blankets.
The animal bag is VERY well made. There are three entrance points, allowing the child to spot a desired animal and easily extract it from the bag. The zipper pulls are large plastic ovals, easy to grab even for little hands. And the softness of the bag is really fantastic. My 1-year-old son loves to run over to it, collapse on it, and roll around on the soft "fur."
If you're considering a bean-bag chair and want to avoid the potential danger of the fillers, the Boon Oval Animal Bag is a less expensive and safer alternative with a secondary purpose.
And the best part? Now the next time someone gives my daughter a stuffed animal, I can smile just as much as she does.
