If you’ve never heard of Cotton Monsters, I urge to visit Cottonmonster.com. Be prepared, however, to purchase something for your little one. Cotton Monsters are the perfect little- or big- gift for the young and young at heart. These soft stuffed sculptures have been wildly popular for creator Jennifer Strunge, who also dedicates her time to bringing art and puppetry programs to school and recreational centers.

Cotton Monsters are available in all sizes, and are made from recycled clothing and linens without a pattern. The broccoli-loving vegetarians (I’m not kidding, visit cottonmonster.com) truly are works of art. Because these guys are handmade, no two will ever be exactly alike. In fact Jennifer makes an attempt to make each cotton monster as different as possible, carefully picking the materials that go into making each one and intuitively sewing all their parts.
