    What Type Of Chair/Sofa For Playroom?

    I have one upholstered toddler sized chair in my playroom that the kids fight over all the time. It has seen better days and I was going to replace it but was thinking if I could fit it maybe a child sized sofa that fits more than 1 child would be better. I don't like those flip out type - I want something a little cuter. Bean bags and stuff are out - I can just see them being tossed around and being jumped on.

    Any ideas???

    I opted to go with a few of these instead in the library area:



    if not being used properly they are quickly pulled.

      I'm interested to know what others use also. I don't want anything terribly expensive, but it has to last more than a couple of months. And can be easily cleaned.

        I have multiple child-sized furniture (tables/chairs, couches, etc.) along with three adult-size couches that I use for dividers along with my shelves. QRIS mandates that we have adult seating and during assessment they must see providers sitting in adult seating during formal time(lunch, storytime, etc.) and informal time(during playtime).....much of what providers have here are dictated by QRIS unless providers choose to not meet those standards....I tell my older kids they are to be "role models" with my couches and that works well in teaching the younger children to "sit and not climb" on the couches....Our state has some stiff guidelines, so providers have to find crafty ways to make it work....the adult seating can be in the form of a chair, couch, etc....the couches I have are medium size and are my choice because I have a very large room and they make great dividers.

          I have 2 overstuffed beanbags, 1 overstuffed beanbag chair, and a fun chair that was about $30 at Target. More for a college kid or teen, but works for me and the kids love it, too. I also have 2 stools that open up for storage that I sit on and the kids do, too. They are tiny, not adult sized. In the craft room I have 2 IKEA kid tables with 6 kid sized chairs.

            Which Ikea tables do you have? I am looking to replace my 30 X 72 table that I just sold and am looking at a couple of smaller Ikea tables.

              I'm pretty sure it's the Mammut. I have dark blue and love them. So easy to clean. I can fit 3 two year olds at one table, but it is crowded.
