I had to get up and get out my tape measure to see about this thing. Wow! this is a big one. I know a couple of kids that would really get a kick out of this and I think I have the time to get it done before Christmas. Won't they be surprised.

This is way better than a bean bag chair. I can also see this "grow" thru stages. As a baby this would be perfect as a play rug and as they get older then stuff it for a sit upon. Boys and girls of all ages would get a kick out of this big pillow.

I wouldnt have the slightest idea what to do with a pillow this big, but if you just work up the front side, it would make an ideal Baby rug. And once Baby is finished using it for dedicated Tummy Time, it would also work as a crib blanket. I also know a few seniors who would get a kick out of this as a lapghan!
