Design Your Own Toy

A creative mother came up with an idea that is now on its way to becoming a new craze. Her website has been shared on Pinterest and blogs everywhere, and she is gaining more and more interest. Right now, her work is on back order and has a waiting list totaling 563 people. Everyone wants a part in her ingenious idea to transform children's drawings into a one-of-a-kind toy. With each and every drawing submitted to Child's Own Studio, the designer finds a way to capture the child's unique personality from the drawing and incorporate it into their toy.

Each toy is completely original, coming from the most imaginative designers in the world, children. Their sketches are mainly composed of animals and imaginary creatures. The creator mixes contrasting elements in many of the toys, combining eerily menacing looking creatures with warm, soft cloth to make terrifying yet cuddly stuffed toys.

One of the recently made toys was designed in the image of a drawing titled "Snoddle Hunting." The name itself, suggests a peculiar being. It has appendages extending from its plush but disfigured body. The color scheme is monotone and dark, showing the shady side of this huggable toy. The Snoddle has a face that could frighten a child in the dark, but it could also be of comfort to hold at night while trying to sleep.The five-eyed bunny has conflicting characteristics as well. There is nothing more adorable than a fluffy bunny, but the addition of the extra three eyes brings a creepiness to the lovable animal. Both of these creations seem as though they are glaring at the onlooker, but at the same time, they are begging to be picked up and snuggled with.

Each toy comes with its own quirks and contrasting impressions. The aura that surrounds these stuffed toys is a blend of spookiness and lovability that perfectly matches the proud owner who fashioned it.
