I spent a good portion of my childhood coloring, drawing and creating and was very proud of what my mother assured me was some serious talent. I can't even imagine how excited I would have been if she then had one of my creations turned into a doll from my very own artwork.
Child's Own does just that in an incredibly accurate and impressive way. What started as a way to make one boy's wildly imaginative drawings turned into this uber cool home-based business.
Their attention to detail what makes these handmade works of art so so special; if your kid's monkey has 6 arms, heart-shaped teeth and a rocket ship belly button? Child's Own will get the 3-D version as close to your child's drawing as they can.
Just browse the gallery and the Child's Own Studio Flickr page and you'll be as amazed as I was.
Estimated turnaround time is about 4-6 weeks and pricing starts at about (updated) $250 which reflects the quality of the craftsmanship, but is definitely not cheap. Still, there is no question that your child will fall head-over-heels for their new custom BFF.
