I was recently able to surprise my son with a special one-of-a-kind gift with the help of Sunny Little Studio.
Sunny Little Studio creates custom hand made soft toys – or “Softies” – based on children’s artwork. It can be any level of drawing, from a very young child’s scribbling that may take a little interpretation, to the perfectly colored and beautifully proportioned image from a talented older child. Â Once you scan your drawing and send it in, saved as a jpg, PNG, gif, or PDF, Sunny Little Studios will review the drawing and provide a quote for your Softie. Â They typically range from $75 to $145, with a $15 shipping and handling charge. Â After you’ve approved the quote, you will receive your custom made stuffed toy in three to four weeks. Â And when I say the drawing doesn’t have to be perfect, I mean it.
When my son opened the adorable protective bag that sheltered his custom Softie, he gasped.  “Mom!” he shouted.  “This is a stuffed animal and it looks just like the shark picture I drew.  This is awesome!”
To say that he’s thrilled with his new Softies toy would be putting it mildly. Â He can’t believe that his shark crossed with a cat (don’t ask – he’s got a good imagination) came to life so beautifully. Â It has the fins he’d created even in the unique shapes he’d drawn. Â Its gills are the same, and even his claws on the bottoms of his feet are identical to his drawing.
Very cool, no? Â The drawing is so close to the Softie that we received. Â I’m thrilled, and so is Mister Man. Â In fact, this has replaced all other stuffed animals in his bed. Â This is who he’s now sleeping with, and I don’t think this is going to change anytime soon. Â I love that the Softie has such meaning for us and for Mister Man. Â This is one that won’t ever end up in a garage sale or be given away. Â Someday – long in the future, I hope – it will go into the memory box, to join the original drawing already there.
