This company will turn a picture into a toy! That is pretty awesome! If you have a crafty little one who loves stuffed animals then this is a really awesome website to know about! With this you are able to make your kids imagination basically come to life!

The company is called Budsies and the company is located in Boynton Beach, Florida and founded by Alex Furmansky. They have the ability to make doodles, photographs, or people. Furmansky got the idea from his little sisters drawings. He hated that her imagination would end up on the fridge for a few months and then move into the trash, so he came up with this amazing idea.

The website states that the toys are 16-inches tall, hypoallergenic, and created from a team of plush toy artists. When they toy is complete and looks exactly like the image it is crafted from they ship it to its owner along with the framed artwork the toy is modeled after!

I looked at the pricing and option online and they seem to be around $69 and yes that is a bit pricey for a toy but they are handmade, modeled from a range of imaged of your choosing along with the framed image when returned.

The company is very cool and takes pride it their work and your child’s safety, hence the hypoallergenic material. When you order your toy you are able to put down special comments that they work with as they make your toy.

It’s a really neat idea because they can even make paper crafts into a toy. They say they can make pictures into toys so you could even take a picture of a clay figure your child has made and send that in too! There are so many possibilities with this and you kid would absolutely love seeing what they created from their own imagination into something they can hug and love!

While reading the website I found out that they made a toy for a cancer child. The toy was a picture of the kids mother made into a super hero! They also made toy dolls for a kid that looked like their deployed father. The company takes care in your toy because they value their customers.

They also donate Budsies to children in rough times because the company owner grew up in a home where their parents struggled to meet ends meet. They also work with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Eastern Pennsylvania to sponsor Budsies for kids who are going through cancer treatment along with Easter Seals Rehabilitation Centers for Kids with disabilities and LLS Foster Home. I really love everything this company is about! The price may be a bit much but overall I think it is worth the quality and cause!

I really loved finding out about this company and what they are involved with and I hope you did too! I also hope you take your little ones crafty mind and make it into a cool new toy they can love and play with!
