Looking for an activity that will get kids off their screens and encourage DIY creativity? The new Magic Scrunch Pillow from Bright Stripes is the perfect hands-on summer craft.
Kids ages 6 and up can choose from four unique styles for their pillow — cupcake, unicorn, kitty, or puppy — then, simply weave, scrunch, and stuff an adorable, loopy character. The cute embroidered accents and felt pieces weave right on, with no cutting or sewing required! Plus, the material is made from 90% post-consumer recycled fabric and stuffing.
No matter the skill level, kids will enjoy making this pillow in about an hour or less, even though it will look like it took many hours to complete. When they’re done, kids are left with an adorable pillow to add to their room, camping gear, or travels. This hands-on activity has numerous benefits for kids, including building resilience and critical thinking.
Launching in July, the Magic Scrunch Pillow will be available on Amazon and brightstripes.co for $24.99.
