Summer may be here, but learning can continue through the summer months with Celestial Buddies! After an evening of star-gazing and seeking out the planets through a telescope, kids can expand their imaginations with a literal take on out-of-this-world pretend play. This original line of plush characters each personifies a celestial body occupying our sky. Each character comes with a tag showing the actual object it personifies and some fun facts to give the toy educational value. Kids who have an interest in astronomy will love these stuffed buddies. Great for kids of all ages!
