That’s what Time Magazine had to say about Celestial Buddies when the first four of these Plush Planetary Playmates . . .Sun, Earth, Moon and Mars . . .made their debut at what was then called the “Launch Pad” for new companies at Toy Fair 2011. Since then, we have added ten more Buddies, all of which have been embraced . . . literally and figuratively . . . by girls and boys, children and adults, professionals and amateurs, all over the world.
Parents have discovered that our Buddies are a fun and healthy way to teach their kids about science. Professional educators on all levels . . . elementary and middle school teachers, museum and planetarium directors, and university professors utilize them in classes and community outreach in the ongoing effort to make all of us more aware of this amazing universe in which we live. And the kids . . . well, they just love them!
A Planetarium Director recently wrote us: “Thank you for these wonderful Celestial Buddies! I find a daily use for them to help explain phenomena, update visitors on space missions & what we've discovered, and so much more. Because these are fun to work with, people tend to remember what it is we're trying to convey better. Thank you!"
A mother confided, “"I can't thank you enough. My son is 2 years old and is under assessment for autism. With these Celestial Buddies, my non-verbal son has a way to communicate with us about his passion . . . He grabs the moon every night and sits by the window with him watching the moon. He takes all the planets and revolves them around the sun. I'm sure he even knows them by name at the age of 2. He now goes to sleep because he has the moon to cuddle up to while the rest live in his playroom in his cozy corner space for when he needs some quiet alone time. . . . I just want to say a massive thank you for your wonderful product which has given us a way to contact and engage my son. Celestial Buddies have changed the world from a lonely place for a little boy who just can't talk yet. Honestly, I can't thank you enough! "
An Elementary School Teacher wrote, "My students and I love our collection of Celestial Buddies and have collected them all. Thank you very much for creating these adorable plush planetary pals . . ."
And this father, like many of our fans, can hardly wait for future Buddies: “I have the full collection of the Celestial Buddies. I was so excited to receive Black Hole to store them all. . . . Thank you for all the good Celestial Buddies you have made, and may more come to join the big club of Celestial Buddies!"
We're doing our best to keep the Buddies coming. Our most recent is Polaris, the Pole Star, making its debut at Toy Fair. You can see it . . .and all the other Buddies . . .if you stop by to visit us in Booth 6175. You'll receive a free gift just for stopping to talk to us!
