A toy box is an excellent idea. You could always pad and add a back and it would do double duty as a toy box and a padded bench.

Hi,
It sounds like your grandson has a great room, and a great grandmother! There are a whole bunch of toy box ideas on Hometalk- do any of these help? https://www.hometalk.com/search/posts?filter=toy%20box
This idea is recent, and might be nice if you could match the fabric to his bedspread or something like that: https://www.hometalk.com/diy/bedroom/organizing/storage-bin-to-toy-box-27799290
Good luck!
Storage Bin to Toy Box
We were going to build one but decided to purchase a bench with seating and customize it. It would less expensive than purchasing the material. This is her 1st birthday, she was 3 in February and it still looks like this. Scuffed with fine steel wool, cleaned with denatured alcohol, spray painted, then added the vinyl.
Make a frame using 1" square timber or thicker if you need it to be stronger (two oblongs and two squares) Join them together to make a box shape. Clad the box with timber or MDF. Make lid with Timber or MDF . Either hinge the back or make lid lift off. Hope that helps.
