The cuddliest interspecies squid doll yet

Clump-O-Lump mix-and-match plush toysImagination is in no short supply around these parts. One of our toys can have half a dozen alter egos and we love and encourage the unstoppable creative flow.

And so when we were introduced to the Clump-O-Lump crew of stuffed animals that can mix and match body parts with the tug of a zipper or two, we knew they were going to be a hit in the playroom. In other words, welcome to our interspecies creation lab.

 

The Clump-O-Lump family was conceptualized by industrial designer Max Knecht who has a knack for looking at things with a fresh and rather playful eye. Each stuffed animal (choose from the diverse offerings of squid, frog, bee, bird, shark or tiger) has 3 body sections, a head, midsection and a bottom, that attach with a zipper and thus are completely interchangeable. So as you collect more from the Clump-O-Lump family you can make more giggle inducing crazy animal combinations.

The result? A great out-of-the-box toy that's fun and silly and for whatever reason seems to make a lot of sense... in the way that sharks mixed with tigers mixed with squids, frogs and birds do.

These remind me of the kind of toy you would get as a kid on a exciting visit to FAO in the big city. They are very cool and have a strong presence in the room either inter-clumped or all on their own. I'd think a pair or trio of these could make a really great special gift for the right kid. -Stephanie M

Visit with the Clump-O-Lump family in their well constructed webshop where you can even visit the Land of Lump to learn more about these playful creatures.
