Holiday Toys and Gifts from The Land of Nod {Review & Giveaway}

For as long as I can remember The Land of Nod has been one of my go-to sources for toys and holiday shopping for kids. Long before I had my own little ones, I shopped The Land of Nod for our nieces and new baby gifts. And, want to know a secret? The Land of Nod is the first place I go scouting new finds for the 30 Days of Toys.

Okay, I admit when I was given the opportunity to pick something to share with my kids from The Land of Nod I didn’t pick the most exciting toy out there. I definitely went the practical route when I asked for the Tuffet Seater, but sometimes practical gifts are the best gifts. And, as it turns out, my kids don’t seem to notice they are seats because they use them as toys, too.

The Tuffet Seater

Exclusive to The Land of Nod, the Tuffet Seater is made of sturdy, woven polypropylene tubing with metal framing is appropriate for outdoor or indoor use. This time of year, my favorite use is indoor at low activity tables, and the Tuffet Seater is a perfect fit for our play room table as well as The Land of Nod’s 15″ Activity Table or Mojo Table.

The material is not typical soft floor seating so despite is cushy looking shape, it’s a firm place to sit. That’s not to say it’s uncomfortable. My kids are certainly haven’t complained. I think the shape helps to make it feel comfortable for little bottoms, and even bottoms as big as mine actually. But, it’s not a pillowy-bean bag–type of seat. Here’s a close up of the woven seat material.

Now where you and I see a seat, my kids see a play thing. When turned upside down the Tuffet Seater is a great place to hide toys, a house for small dolls, a race car, and, apparently, a seat.

Right side up, it’s a seat fit for a princess.

To Buy or Not to Buy

To Buy… I’ve always been happy with purchases and products from The Land of Nod and the Tuffet Seaters are no exception. They versatile, move from room to room easily and are an affordable addition to a play room or living space. And, of course, I can’t forget that even though they’re not toys, your kids will play with them and they will hold up well to lots of action.

Or Not to Buy… The seat isn’t a soft, pillowy seat like the shape might suggest. It’s more sturdy and firm than I expected, but that has actually turned out to be a good thing, given the way my kids now use them.
