The Mixed Animals collection is made up of customizable plush toys that encourage active play and imaginations in children. Instead of playing with static teddy bears and dolls, these Mixed Animals can become almost anything a child chooses them to be. Whether that means having wings like a angel or trunk like an elephant, pretty much anything goes.
Of course, these customizable plush toys come with specific parts. At least for now. Each are outfitted with magnetic strips to make them easier to put together and pull apart. Created by Hong-Kong based design studio Huzi, this collection allows the children and perhaps parents become a part of the designing process. It brings another level of interaction to the game of make-believe.
