What do you do with all those fantastic pictures your little ones make - you know the ones I mean.  They draw and color something special just for Mom or Dad or Grandma, then it gets hung on the fridge for a while.  Until the next drawing is put up in it's place.  Then they bring home more and more from school, church, and just everyday art work.  Which ones do you keep? Which go on the fridge and which end up in a box in the basement or attic?


 

My girls were so excited, I had to take a video of their reactions . . .



And, if that isn't enough incentive to go get one for the kiddos in your life - For the entire month of November, for every Custom stuffed animal ordered  (excluding coupon and discount code purchases), on your behalf, we will produce and donate a duplicate Budsie to a child in need over the Holidays.
The toys are then delivered to partnering organizations, who distribute the toys at the grassroots level to the children that need them most

AND, of course, my blog readers/followers get a special discount - use the code: MomLoves2Read during checkout to get $5 OFF your purchase!
And don't forget, each toy is unique and is inspected for loose parts. Some toys may have small/skinny pieces so it is recommended that each Budsie be given to children 3+ years of age.  Please watch how your child plays with the custom plush toy and, if your child excessively chews it, you may want to put the Budsie in its "home" for safekeeping until your child gets older.  These make wonderful keepsakes and are special and unique since they are created by your child for your child!

Don't have a child? Child not old enough to draw yet?  That's ok -  While Budsies were originally made for kids, more and more adults have been ordering Budsies for themselves or for friends. Folks have made custom stuffed animals from doodles, company mascots, and as toys for their pets.  Some are cute and some are funny, but all of them are loved.  Just remember, no brand logos can be reproduced (ex: Superman, Batman, etc)  If you are unsure, you can email and ask before ordering!
