"Crate" Solution

Taken from a first grade teacher from FantasticinFirst.blogspot.com, this is a great way to make a double purpose from an otherwise single-use item, that is, the Yaffa Bubble Crate.



I keep my records from 1999, too.
Although certainly these instructions can be resized to accommodate a variety of crates, milk crates, giant shipping crates, really it's whatever you want or however large you wish for your new chair to be.
And guess what! It comes out like this!

The general idea is getting a square of plywood that fits inside, then covering it with foam, and sewing some beautiful fabric on it to tie the whole thing together. The teacher explains that she just used a staple gun to adhere the fabric to the wood, no extreme sewing machine necessary.

for more specific instructions... and hooray! Now you have new seats! Perfect for 6-year-old bums at story time.

Get the title??? That's not my joke.
