The founder of Budsies realized something most parents do when their kids bring home art – it often get lost in the shuffle, stuffed in boxes or folders, never to be seen again. This was the inspiration for starting Budsies, a creative company that turns children’s art to life into custom stuffed animals.
Budsies makes it simple to send in the artwork. You can take a photo on your phone and either email or text it to Budsies, as well as download a photo from your computer. The team at Budsies will send confirmation and approval of the artwork. The typical turnaround time is 5 weeks until you receive your personalized plush animal.
If your child is a bit on the younger side or needs inspiration with drawing shapes and characters, Budsies has a set of helpful templates to get the imagination going.
