The best, longest-loved toys always seem to be the kinds of toys that can be used in a variety of ways. When a child uses their imagination, something as simple as a wooden block can become anything from a cheeseburger being served at a restaurant to buried treasure waiting to be found! 

When we designed our Pipsqueak® Tiny Washable Pillow, we knew it would be a great back-up pillow for toddler nap times. What we didn’t know was just how many uses our customers would find for this tiny rectangle of comfort. 

In the spirit of the simplest toys being the best ones, here are 50 things you and your family can do with a tiny pillow. (Imagination sold separately.) 

1. Pack it for your little one to use on your next family vacation. 
2. Bring it along to the airport (since most planes no longer give you pillows). 
3. Keep it in the car for car naps. 
4. Play toddler-safe dodgeball. 
5. Keep it as a back-up for your Tot Cot Nap Mat.
6. Add one to your pet’s bed as a “pooch pillow.” 
7. Use them to prop up your arms while nursing a baby. 
8. Have the world's smallest pillow fight. 
9. Start a marching band with noise-free “cymbals.” 
10. Work on your balance by walking with one on your head. 
11. Play basketball with the toy bin.

17. Use one in a pinch as a toddler booster seat in a restaurant.
18. Give it a name (like a pet!)
