This is a wonderful present for the little astronomers in your life. I bought this for my children when they were 5 and 3, respectively, and six years later the younger one still displays Earth (along with all the other planets and the sun) in her bedroom. It is soft and perfect for cuddling, but also comes with a little tag that tells you the basics about our planet. Very high quality and excellent customer service. We have since ordered every stuffed product that Celestial Buddies makes and cannot wait to see what they come up with next.
