Fun Storage/seating for a little kids room

Ms. Olivia's room is coming right along and the newest addition would be the animal storage and seating I have added.  These where sooooooo soooooo easy to make.
I have them set-up under her window like a bench. As you can see we put the animals in to look like a little jail, which Olivia loves!




What you will need to create these:
Crates
Foam for the seat                                    
Material
Plywood
A hot glue gun



Step one:  Buy all the materials: Buy the crates first and measure the top of the inside ledge. Then go to a store like Lowe's and find a piece of plywood.  Have them cut the wood into the measurements you need to fit the inside ledge of the crate.  Then go to the craft store and buy the foam and material, plus hot glue supplies.
Step two: Cut foam to the same size of the plywood.  Then using the hot glue gun attach the foam to the plywood.
Step three:  Measure and cut materiel.  You want to make sure that the material fits all the way around the seat.  You are going to glue the materiel down on the underneath side of the plywood.  Glue all the sides of the materiel onto the plywood, while doing this make sure you are pulling the materiel tight so it fits snug over the seat.
Step Four:  Put any toys inside the crate and place the seat on top.  And enjoy!!
