Celestial Buddies Saturn Buddy Science Astronomy Space Solar System Educational Plush Blue Planet Toys

This was an excellent gift for my planet-obsessed sons 3rd birthday. Most space-themed toys are clearly only designed for older children, but the simplicity of this design makes it work well for all ages. The planet body has a soft plush outer layer, but the filling is dense and a little heavier than you would expect for a stuffed animal (but definitely not too heavy for any child). This gives it a feeling of sturdiness and substance, which is great for children with sensory challenges. The hands and feet are softer and more squishy. Saturns rings are sewn on well and the thread has yet to come undone after weeks of hard play. The rings are soft and similar to a hat brim, so they can be fold downward over the eyes or upward if the child wants. Its really the details of this that make it fun. My son loves to read the word Saturn on the right foot, and the fabric on the planet mimics the stripes and whorls of Saturn. Overall, the product is high-quality, of sturdy construction and thoughtful design. We love it!
