24 Stuffed Monsters
Check out 24 Stuffed Monsters!
Anne Karsten became pretty innovative when her 4th and 5th grade class learned a bit about product development. They were given the task to design their own Stuffed Monster plush toy. Some students were influenced by the popular toys they know and love, such as Ugli Dolls, Pokemon/ Yugi-oh trading card characters, and stuffed animals from the current marketplace; still others drew upon their imagination, best-loved pets, or favorite holidays for inspiration. All students made use of textures in their designs, incorporating swatches of safe materials (no Mesothelioma, thanks!) and written notes with drawings of their monsters from multiple viewpoints. Each stuffed monster became a portrait of the student’s creativity at this stage of childhood, and all have been sold (back to the parents, naturally!) as a fundraiser for their school.
How cute is that? Turn a bunch of ten and eleven year olds loose with a sketchbook, a bunch of materials and the instruction to create a plush Monster toy.
Here are some of the great creations these little creative minds were able to come up with:
Their teacher, Anne Karsten, takes custom requests if you have a monster drawing you’d like to “stuffify”. Learn more about getting a custom-made stuffed monster on her website!
