Who would benefit most from this product?

Can this be used as a toy for children?

Troubleshooting
Pins do not stay securely inserted
Ensure pins are inserted at an angle into the fabric rather than straight down. If the filling feels too soft, it may be an indication of prolonged compression; allow it to rest or gently fluff it.
Fabric appears faded or dirty
Gently spot clean the affected area with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the cloth is not overly wet. Allow to air dry thoroughly.
Pincushion feels lumpy
Gently massage the fabric to redistribute the filling. If lumps persist, carefully open a small seam and adjust the stuffing, then resew.
