Kiddos accumulate a lot of stuff, tons and tons of stuffed animals, to be exact. Stuffed animals are a go-to gift, so it's easy for that plush collection to become a bit of a zoo. The only way to tame the huggable masses is by seeking the help of a storage solution. But plastic boxes can be a little cold and unforgiving. And can amount just as quickly, depending on the size of that plushie pack. So, you must get creative, and storage bean bag chairs are it. Storage bean bag chairs combine storage and seating. These stuff-hiding seats tuck away plush animals (and other soft items), allowing them to become the squishy fill for a new seat. Who knew storage could also be décor? Check out our fun finds!
