Wendy Tsao Turns Children’s Doodles Into Real Toys

The Child’s Own Studio is where she transforms drawings of children into plush and cloth dolls. Wendy Tsao receives requests from parents all over the world, and she made several hundreds soft toys based on children’s drawings, each one as unique as the child who drew it. Details and color choices are reproduced as closely as possible so that the stuffed toy that arrives in the mail is immediately recognizable to the child who designed it.

“It’s a fun, rewarding process, and kids love seeing their drawings come alive”, she says. VIA: –AMUSING PLANET
