Oliver the Octopus Stuffed Animal
(Completely handmade from repurposed textiles, from body to inside materials)
The Oliver the Octopus stuffed animal comes in two styles: Printed Fabric and Solid Fabric. With his floppy tentacles, Oliver makes the perfect cuddle buddy!
Each Oliver is handmade by the author and takes 2-3 weeks to ship. Since each is one of a kind, slight variations in materials and button-eye shapes may occur. The underside materials may vary between printed and non-printed fabrics, depending on the artist's choice.
Note from the Author/Toymaker:
The Oliver stuffed animal pattern is my own creation, and it’s an extension of my art! I source all of my materials secondhand to encourage young ones to see that there’s always a way to repurpose something. Each stuffed animal comes with a tag, and I encourage parents to read it with their children to explain how Oliver was made.
*Please note that children under the age of 4 years should play with supervision*

A note from the author and illustrator:
This book is a complete collaboration between us, author and artist Taylor Alexandria Hayden and Naida Joy Harrell. We worked side by side to art-direct the underwater world of "The High Seas," where the story unfolds. Each page is filled with artwork thoughtfully designed to immerse young readers in the underwater world of Grimm's Toys. Each book is signed and numbered by both author and illustrator. This is Book 1 in the mini-series: Grimm's Toys: The High Seas. (So stay tuned for more!)
