Do your kids love bringing their own pillows when you travel, but your home pillows are too bulky? Perhaps they want a really comfy pair of pj pants or simple shorts to wear in the car. How about having a fun bucket hat to keep their hair out of their eyes when the car windows are open, or just to protect their eyes from the sun?

What if your kids could make all of these things for themselves?
