For those who can afford to upgrade from couch cushions, check out the soft foam Tea Pods by iglooplay. Turn the larger one on its side and it's a rocker. Turn it the other way and it's a stool. Or maybe a rocket ship. Covered in soft suede in an array of modern, muted colors, these pods won't scream "Kid Furniture"; the optional wooden tray top can even go from holding LEGOs to holding cocktails. If you want to go green, the newest pods comein wool and part-soy foam.
While an entire set may cost more than your big-screen television (find them at 2Modern) at least the kids will be using their imagination as well as their muscles. And you can have your sofa back. -Christina
