Soft Monsters

Fiddlebunks are little soft monsters—friends waiting to be found, each with a story and personality of their own.

Designed with a child’s perspective in mind, Fiddlebunks are more than just toys; they are companions that spark imagination and foster meaningful connections.

As a child culture designer, I create Fiddlebunks to nurture creativity and open-ended play. Their forms are ambiguous—are they part elephant? Do they have the wings of an owl? That’s for the child to decide. This ambiguity in form invites children to dream, explore, and form a unique bond with their stuffed creature.

What unites all Fiddlebunks? Their eyes. Crafted through textile layering techniques, each Fiddlebunk features a blend of colors and textures— yet no matter how whimsical their shape, their soft little eyes are always peeking out, waiting to be seen.
