The Fun Chair your child is supposed to draw on
Like Ella before, I'm pretty keen on cardboard furniture, and think the Fun Chair is a great idea for a kid's toy. It's a small, folding chair of plain brown recycled cardboard, costing £19.50 at Green Apple, which is designed for your child to decorate to his heart's content. Which, at risk of invoking Valkyries of Protest, sounds pretty steep for a disposable kid's toy; Susie would probably be just as happy with a cardboard wine shipping box (very sturdy and usually white) that you told her was an ottoman for her to decorate. (Though it might not be recycled then, so much as repurposed.) [GT]
