It is handmade out of denim with little creatures sewn on in felt. The idea is that children are surrounded by a plethora of things in their daily lives and any one of these items holds the potential to aide imagination and instruction. Hence a pillow, which is a necessity or a decoration, could be used as a learning tool.

The pillow is much like a story book, but instead of a linear narrative of a book, the pillow has one character that can have magical adventures every night. The narrative then becomes non-linear and is controlled by the child. It also improves their memory as they need to remember each adventure while stimulating their imagination and encouraging storytelling.

We need to nurture imaginative little minds to think and explore ideas and concepts. Our hope is that not only will Popsiebelle inspire little minds but reignite imagination in “big brains” and remind us all to play once in a while.
