Play-furniture for children, composed of a plurality of attaching, substantially similar wedge-shaped cushions, of ergonomic dimensions relating to those of a child. The cushion's section resembles a trapezoid, comprising two slanted straight lines and two concentric rings. The cushion's graduate tips and inner edges are filleted to create a hollow cylindrical core along the imaginary central axis of the assembled sphere, in order to allow kids to stand, hide, or roll inside the sphere. This open area also acts as a safety feature against suffocation. The cushions may be composed of semi-rigid bases, such as foam or padding, and fabric exteriors, with fastening areas (such as Velcro), for attaching and detaching the cushions from one another. The cushions may be configured into a spherical assembly, or a variety of other shapes. Various sub-assemblies of cushions may act as different pieces of furniture, such as a rocking chair, crib, a back cushion for leaning upon, massive ball with a large inner cavity for rolling or being rolled in, or an down-turned hemisphere on which a child may sit, and so forth. The assembly may resemble a familiar object, such as a melon or a basketball.
