**Toddlerpedes** is a collection of totally creepy and bizarre sculptures by artist Jon Beinart that are made using [body parts from baby dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami-1).

Beinart started making creatures from doll torsos, limbs and heads as an amusing hobby that evolved into intricate [imitations of insects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/murder-hornet-ring) and mythological creatures.

Beinart says of Toddlerpedes, *"They are my children, mini me's that I find irresistibly cute."*

The sculptures have names such as, Scorpie Toddlerpede, Bubbapillar Toddlerpede, Crustaceous Toddlerpede, Mojo Toddlerpede, and Footsy Toddlerpede.
