The idea of turning children drawings into toys isn’t actually new. IKEA has recently turned children's drawings into actual plush toys. Winning designs raised money for kids' charities. The 10 winning entries have been recreated in loving detail by Ikea's toy designers, and the creations are now on sale as part of the chain's annual fundraiser. Since launching the charity effort in 2003, the Ikea Foundation has donated more than $90 million to global children's needs.
