asherjasper

by Erika Jurney on October 27, 2009

My kids would have loved the felt squishiness of these wonderful tiny people when they were little.

Imagined with such creativity, these hilarious little folks and creatures by asherjasper — incidentally not made of plastic like most toys — can be played with in so many ways.

At my house, Henry would build them a Lego fortress where they would defend against attacks mounted by Charlie and his wooden robots while Ed would be busy doing the play-by-play commentary of the battle.

Of course, the level of ‘crazy’ at your house may be different.
