Zack's Created a Monster

A few months ago, we stopped by a local toy store, Doodlehopper, which was having a "design a monster" contest for kids. Zack drew a creation he called "Triceratentacles," a sort of three headed octopus-like thing with different colors for all the different body parts.

A few days later we got a call saying he'd won! A toy company would be making a stuffed animal out of Zack's design, and might even be selling it to other kids some day!

Just the other day, Zack said to Kelly in the car, "you know, Doodlehopper should be calling soon about my stuffed animal." Sure enough, they had a message on the answering machine when they got home, so they went and picked it up. (A bit eerie, huh?).

Here are some pictures of Triceratentacles, complete with a "designed by Zack tag." The video is Zack reading the tag, which is the description he wrote when he created the monster.
