I love when companies have products for kids that are fun, and they can learn from them too. My kids have always loved learning about space and the planets. This is something they recently have taken an interest in too. We’ve been learning a lot lately about the planets, and Celestial Buddies have been very helpful with that too.
About
Celestial Buddies is an original line of plush characters each personifying a celestial body occupying our heavens. The Celestial Buddies’ “Big Bang” moment occurred after the creator of this miniature stuffed universe saw a documentary series on the Solar System and realized that there were no plush toys depicted our planetary neighbors. So she set to work, and Celestial Buddies is the result.

The Sun is extremely important to our world, and my oldest really wanted this one. She loves it so much with all it’s bright, beautiful colors. It’s very soft and fuzzy. The sun is great for so many things. Without it, we sure wouldn’t stay warm.

We love the Earth plushie! Since we live on Earth, we knew we had to have this plushie. What a great way to have Earth near you always. It’s such a precious planet to all of us. We love this round planet so much!

My youngest wanted to get Polaris, and she’s so happy she did. She is very much in love with this one. It comes with Polaris Ab and Polaris B. I thought this one was so adorable with the littles that it came with. What an adorable plushie!
When you press on the button on Polaris’s foot, it lights up. It’s so adorable! Polaris is a multiple star system orbited by its two little companions, Polaris Ab and Polaris B. This one is great for sleeping with at night since it lights up. My daughters have been having a lot of fun with that at night too. It can keep a little bit of light with them each night too.
My kids have been having so much fun with these. We all love them all a lot. They have so many to choose from too. You’ll find all the planets along with some other solar system ones too.
Each of these plushies are very soft and adorable! I would love to have the whole collection some day. I think it would be nice to see them all together and I know my daughters would really love that too. They have so many great ones for the solar system. Each of them have tags with more information about them as well. That way kids can learn about them while snuggling up with them.
Space X
Celestial Buddies’ adventures in space began last year. On the evening of March 1, 2019, SpaceX President Elon Musk surprised the world by tweeting that he was sending a “super hi-tech zero gravity indicator” on board the Crew Dragon Spacecraft bound for the International Space Station the following morning.
In the wee hours of March 2, television viewers were treated to the sight of a blue and green plush toy Earth floating in the cabin, soon to be welcomed to the Space Station by American Astronaut Anne McClain. She in turn was succeeded by Christina Koch, who spent a record 328 days on board with Little Earth ($21.99), the cuddly planetary plush from Celestial Buddies that defied both gravity and zero gravity in going where no plush
had ever gone before. Learn more about this HERE.
If your kids love space and planets, these Celestial Buddies would be great for them. It’s nice to see that they have a wide variety to choose from too. I’m sure your kids are going to find the perfect one for them, just like mine did. We love them!
