Well we sent my naughty nieces off with my parents to Thailand for their yearly trip. Before they left my mom made these awesome neck pillows for them that are just their size.
They are a little thinner in the back part so it’s more comfy for their little bodies instead of having them stick so far out from the chair if they used adult sized ones. The girls picked their own fabric and these came together super fast.
Make Your Own
You’ll need
- Free Travel Pillow Pattern
- 1/2 yard of fabric
- batting
Make yourself a pattern you can get the basic measurements off of the picture of the pattern my mom made above. It would fit in a square that’s about 11 x 16 . Cut it out on the fold of the fabric to the right. And you’ll need two of those a front and a back.
With right sides sew around all edges leaving an opening ( she did it on the inside part where the neck would go). Flip the pillow right side out. Stuff with batting. Hand stitch the hole closed.
And our little friend who just turned one was over and this size seemed to work for him so I’d think this would be a good size for kiddos one to maybe 6 ish. My eldest niece is 5 right now.
Happy travels!
