Brown, White and Green All Over: New ELIA? Cardboard Chair Offers Earth-Friendly Creativity for Kids
(PRWEB) April 4, 2008 -- Take a few ingeniously designed pieces of 100 percent recyclable cardboard, put them together, decorate to your heart's content and what have you got? A unique work of art. A great-looking piece of furniture you can really use. And most of all, a highly creative, environmentally responsible way of making fun with kids - the new Elia? Mini Chair from 12BY12 Design.
The Elia Mini Chair is the perfect birthday, rainy day or any day activity for parents and kids age four and up. It's quick and easy to put together - no tools required. It's the ultimate blank canvas for inspiring a child's creativity - perfect for painting, scribbling, stickers, writing, collage or decoupage. And kids love the sense of accomplishment they get from making a real chair they can actually sit on. In fact, the Elia Mini Chair is sturdy enough to support 200 pounds!
Decorate. Redecorate. Recycle.
The Elia Mini Chair is made from all natural, recyclable cardboard, brown on one side and white on the other, so kids can choose which color they want their chair to be. And when they're finished decorating it, the chair can be taken apart, put back together and redecorated using the other side of the cardboard for an entirely new look. All done using it? No guilt about tossing toys in a landfill. Just take the Mini Chair apart and recycle it.
