Stuffed Animals Everywhere!!

From what I gather, most parents struggle with how to store toys.  There is never enough room, particularly for the odd-shaped things that they (read: you) are sentimentally attached to.  Stuffed animals are probably the trickiest.  I know some toddler parents who just toss them all in the crib and let them become part of the bedding (which is not exactly a safe sleeping scenario).  Others try to arrange them on shelves or in baskets.  But they have a nasty habit of multiplying faster than you can find storage space for them.

A few months ago we discovered the Boon Animal Bag and it has become my favorite toy-storage solution.  It is a giant faux-fur bean-bag shell with three zippered mesh windows.  You stuff all your animals, soft dolls, doll clothes, etc. inside, zip it closed and "voila!" you have turned all your extra stuffed animals into a nice soft bean-bag shaped chair.

The oval shape (shown at left) comes in pink or green.  A two-oval design called the "Otto" comes in light blue faux fur.  There is also a much larger "Trio" three-oval design that comes in orange faux fur.  For more than triple the price you can also get the Trio "Elite" in orange shag.

In an extra bonus, the Animal Bag is even machine washable.
