So, if you have never filled something before, like with stuffing or "batting" as it's know to us who are crafty, here is some advice: you have to pull out little handfuls, fluff it up and then stuff it in, piece by peice. This helps make sure the pillow isn't lumpy. Does it take a long time? Yes. Was there more than enough stuffing? Absolutely. If my three-year-old hadn't insisted I use every last bit, I wouldn't have used it all. It was so full it took two people to close it. So yeah, it's a good pillow. Definitely kid-sized. But it's a pretty blue color and the fabric is nice.
