Adventure Buddy: a toolkit and journey book help kids turn old fabric scraps into a soft toy. By Pauliina Kittilä

How might a soft toy become more than a comfort object? This project reimagines the role of soft toys in childhood, emphasizing exploration, storytelling and imagination. The Adventure Buddy toolkit and journey book help kids turn old fabric scraps into a soft toy, creating a lifelong companion while inspiring play, exploration, and connection. Alongside the Buddy, a Journey Book encourages children to document their adventures, deepening their bond with the toy and creating lasting memories together with their family. Make a new friend from things you have at home and go on adventures together!
