IKEA has done it once again. For their annual fundraiser ' Soft Toys For Education ', the Swedish furniture giant took some adorable monster drawings by children and turned them into real-life, touchable plush toys.  Since their first charity effort of this kind in 2003, the Ikea Foundation has donated more than $90 million to worldwide children's causes to date. The young designers behind these colorful creations, definitely put all of their imagination and heart into the original drawings.

From each plush toy sold, Ikea will donate 1 Euro to Children's education projects via UNICEF and Save The Children .   all images  ©   IKEA
