Now that's what I call a great idea!

That is a great idea and very reasonably priced.

Very cool. Why didn't they have that when my kids were little?

Would have made birthdays and Christmas a lot more enjoyable, eh?

Birthdays, maybe. For Christmas to be enjoyable, I'd have to be in a coma ... sorry, I have issues.

Where do you see the price? I only saw a $15 shipping quote. This looks pretty cool and my 4 year old does have a birthday/christmas both coming soon!

I read that the prices depend on the drawing itself along with that shipping quote. So you would have to contact him/her for a price. You should do it! I bet that would make your kid feel really awesome

oh, I misread it. You have to send a drawing to get a quote.

Regardless of price, the concept is an amazing concept. It's one of those things that makes you wonder why no one has done something like that before.

Interesting thought. I have some drawings, but I wonder what they'd come up with.

This is what I drew at age 4:

There's something to be said for the innocence of a 4 year old. Some days, it's my best work.

 

[A.Nonymous]

They say that people draw at the same age level as when they stopped drawing. So if you stopped drawing when you were 10, you'll forever draw like a 10 year old. I draw like a 5 year old I think.

Amazing. They've got a real talent for capturing the essence of the drawing and giving the toy the right character.
