It is hard to tell whether the Doodle Toys are pens or playthings. That is because they are a bit of both. Shaped like a quirky cartoon character, the pen portion, which works, of the Doodle Toys act as the head while the body was inspired by an old fashioned ink bottle. Complete with stubby arms and legs, the Doodle Toys are adorable to look at and use.
Designed by Bugs and Plush, a studio based in Mexico Distrito Federal, Mexico, the Doodle Toys is available in four different models: Pencil, Pen, Paint Brush and Fountain Pen. They each come with a set of stickers so that children (and adults) can customize their faces with eyes and mouths. Coming in ten different colors, the Doodle Toys are made out of vinyl.
