  • Turn a galaxy blue pillowcase into a one-of-a-kind space pillow
  • 14 space-themed patches, from planets and a rocket to an astronaut
  • Kids stuff the pillow and sew it shut with a simple ladder stitch
  • Includes a handheld telescope with a strap, case, and cleaning cloth
  • A screen-free beginner sewing project for ages 8 and up

What Your Child Makes

The Space Pillow Kit turns a galaxy blue pillowcase into a pillow that is truly out of this world. Kids fill it with as much or as little stuffing as they like, then use the needle and thread to sew the opening shut with a ladder stitch, following the diagram in the instructions. Next comes the fun part: they choose their favorite patches and arrange their own space scene, attaching each one with the fabric glue or stitching it on for extra sewing practice.

A First Sewing Project with a Bonus

A pillow is a great first sewing project, because one neat seam turns a pile of stuffing into something kids can hug, nap on, and keep on their bed. Every kit also comes with a handheld telescope, complete with a strap, a case, and a cleaning cloth, so young space fans can keep exploring once the pillow is done.

Cute sewing kit my kid will love

This space pillow kit is sure to please my space-loving kid. There’s a small bag of pillow stuffing, a comfy felt pillowcase, & vibrant space patches to glue on among other things (including a handheld telescope!). Overall, a basic sewing kit that I think my son will be really happy about.

We got the space pillow kit for my 5 year old and he absolutely loved the craft. Everything you need for the project was included in the kit with detailed instructions. Loved the attention to details and the quality of the product is amazing too. Definitely getting more craft kits from Pinwheel crafts.

We recently tried the Space Pillow Kit. My daughter is at the age where she loves anything that compliments what she's learned at school, so when she pulled out the planet patches, she was excited to recite each planet as she put it on the pillow. This would make a really great educational gift or activity.

The kit is easy to assemble and comes with everything you need. Included is the pillow case, stuffing, planet patches, glue, and there was even a telescope in the kit!

My daughter couldn't wait to put it together and it was easy for her to manage the glue that came in the kit. It's also made from a soft fabric, so she's been keeping that pillow at her side!

Pinwheel Crafts created a winner with the Space Pillow Kit. It's a great opportunity for kids to learn about the solar system, fosters creativity and keeps them busy! I highly recommend it for a fun year round activity. Can't wait to buy something else from them!

Fun Pillow Kit

This is a fun solar system themed pillow kit for kids to make. My daughter had a fun time stuffing the pillow and then gluing the pieces on. Great way to get creative and a pillow is always useful if they decide to give it as a fit.

Perfect gift for my grandson

My 9 year old grandson has been wanting to sew. This is the perfect starter kit. The pillow is almost completely sewn. He will stuff it, sew it shut and glue on the patches. This is just enough for him to feel accomplished and successful. He has ADHD and has a very short attention span. The material feels very soft like a flannel. The patches are all soft and cute. The included telescope is pretty cool. He's going to love this kit.

Fun arts and crafts project for space lovers

My daughter loves space and loves arts and crafts. So this kit was perfect for her. It came with everything you need to make your own pillow, including stuffing, outer fabric, needle, thread and space themed patches and fabric glue. My 10 year old daughter was able to do it all on her own and follow the included instructions. But I would suggest any younger kids would need help from an adult. She loved making her pillow and stuffing it and sewing it up herself and adding her patches to it. And as a bonus it also came with a monocular telescope. That was a nice surprise. She took that outside and looked at the stars outside right away when she got it. I think this would make a great gift for any space lover kid.

Fun project.

This was a fun project to do with my daughter. She loves to sew and loves the solar system and galaxy theme. So this was just perfect. She not only got to learn how to sew but also got a useful pillow for her room.

More patches than I expected

A pillow is a simple first sewing project, and my kids already now how to sew. But the patches are really cute, and would be fun to put on jeans or bags too. Cute project!

Excellent quality craft

This is a beautiful and thoughtfully created craft project. It's a little too advanced for my (almost) 5 year old but that was to be expected since he's a little younger than the recommended age range. He could do the pillow stuffing but needed a bit of help with the sewing. He has done sewing projects before with yarn and large plastic needles so this is a little more complicated than what he's used to. We still had great fun picking out the arrangement of the patches and he absolutely loves the included telescope. This is a great project and the outcome is a wonderful keepsake.

Great

For this for my 6 year old boy to do as a craft type thing. It comes with everything pictured. He loved being able to stuff his own pillow and decorate our with all the little patches. It turned out really nice once we finished it. Definitely worth the money and I highly recommend it.

Really great craft

I keep trying to find new things for my kids to try, they love so many crafts that it's getting harder and harder to find new things for them. This was a really great find. My son (5) struggled a bit with his hand-eye coordination as he worked on this, but he loved every minute and he refused any help. He is so proud of himself.

I had an absolute blast creating the space pillow with my daughter. It turned into a fantasy bonding experience. The kit is user friendly and it was easy for her to get involved. The end result was a cute little pillow and a fantastic memory.

Good gift

I like that this is creative, fun and different! Easy to use - the glue is strong! We have had our pillow fully assembled for a month now and all patches are still perfectly adhered.The material is not for a house with anImals though. The material is a magnet for all types of hair. We use a lint roller almost daily. I also wish there were different color options instead of black.Bottom line: if you need a fun gift, this is great! My daughter used it for a couple nights and now she says it’s lumpy. I find her pillow every morning on the floor.

Fun Craft

This space pillow craft set comes with everything you need for a fun crafty project. This is suitable for children as young as 10 with adult supervision. The instructions are simple and everything is ready for assembly. Plus, if you don't use all of the patches on the pillow, you can sew them onto backpacks, bookbags, book covers, or whatever or wherever you need a little galaxy inspiration.

A fun and creative project to keep yourself busy for a bit!

This kit was for myself since I wanted to take on a quick project to kill some time during the day. I was expecting to have to sew the entire pillow together, but discovered that it was 90% completed for you. I was hoping in this kit you'd be able to DIY from start to finish, but you're allotted about 6 inches worth of space to stuff your pillow and sew it all together. I will say that the instructions could use some improvement. I ended up using YouTube to help me out a bit since I'm a visual learner. The patches come with fabric glue, which can get a little messy, but overall it is easy to apply. You can assemble the patches however you want, which is pretty cool. Overall, this was a fun and short project! I can't wait to add it onto my couch- the colors work well together with my couch color and throws.

Cute Set

My pre-teen picked this out based on looks alone. I didn’t really look at it before ordering and was surprised to see that the patches are designed to be sewn on, though the kit comes with fabric glue too.I thought they’d be intimidated by the prospect of sewing since they’ve never tried it, but they’re actually enjoying the project in small doses because they love the space theme. So, what I thought would just be another craft kit is actually teaching them a valuable life skill. Serious win. Very happy with it and will look for more like it.

Super cute and educational

Used this fpr my daughter's homeschool section on outer space. She loved it. Easy for a 6 year old with minimal help from adults. Things seem to be holding together well for now.

Fun little project for budding astronaut!

My kid loves science and space. This is a perfect little kit to have her grandmother help teach her to sew and also hit that science bug. Both of them are excited for this project and the materials and instructions are great. This is a fun project for the kids. I would recommend.

Questions parents ask

What's included in the Space Pillow Kit?

A galaxy blue pillowcase, 14 space-themed patches, a handheld telescope with a strap, case, and cleaning cloth, a needle and thread, polyfill stuffing, fabric glue, and step-by-step instructions.

Is this a sewing kit?

Yes. Kids stuff the pillowcase and then sew the opening shut with the needle and thread, using a ladder stitch shown step by step in the instructions. The patches attach with the included fabric glue, and kids who enjoy sewing can stitch them on instead.

Does it really come with a telescope?

Yes. Every kit includes a handheld telescope with a strap, a case, and a cleaning cloth, so the space fun keeps going after the pillow is finished.

What ages is it best for?

It is recommended for ages 8 and up, with adult supervision. Younger crafters can join in with a grown-up handling the needle and helping with the stitching.

Is it safe for kids?

Every Pinwheel Crafts kit is CPSIA compliant, which means it meets the US federal safety requirements for children's products, and this kit conforms to ASTM D-4236, the US labeling standard for art materials. The kit contains small parts, so it is not for children under 3. The needle is sharp, so an adult should supervise the sewing step and keep the needle away from younger siblings and pets.

How do kids close the pillow?

With a ladder stitch. Kids fold the edges of the opening in, then stitch from one side to the other so the thread hides inside the seam. Every few stitches they pull the thread snug, and the instructions show each step in a diagram.

Can kids use all 14 patches?

They can use as many or as few as they like. Some kids cover the whole pillow, and others save a few patches for a backpack or jacket later.

Does it make a good gift?

Yes. It is a great pick for birthdays and holidays, especially for kids who love space, planets, and astronauts. They get a project to make, a pillow to keep, and a telescope to explore with.
