Australian Teacher Turns Monster Drawings By Students Into Soft Toys, Internet Is All Hearts

An Australian teacher is gaining global fame after creating hand-made stuffed toys for each of her students based on the "monster" drawings they made. Her efforts came to light after a student's father took to Twitter and shared how his son's teacher made a lot of toys for five to six-year-olds attending school in Melbourne.

The father, Reid Parker, tweeted the picture of the monster toy made by his kid's teacher. The image featured his child's monster drawing and the stuffed toy the teacher made. "My kid's teacher made toys for her class based on their drawings. Pay teachers more" Mr Parker wrote in the caption of the post.

He even shared a series of pictures that showed different kinds of toys made by the teacher for the entire class which immediately sent the internet into a frenzy.

Mr Parker's tweets soon took the internet by storm. Several internet users praised the teacher for her amazing efforts. 

"This is amazing. What a talented a dedicated educator!" wrote one user. "Yay for this wonderful teacher! What dedication. Lucky children," said another. 

A third user commented, "That is some serious love for her students," while a fourth added, "they are amazing! great pics from the kids, but what a wonderful and skilled person to make them all!" 

Meanwhile, in one of his tweets, Mr Parker also stated that he has created a GoFundMe page for the teacher, who wishes to remain anonymous, so people can send her money. He said that she undertakes the project each year. "Apparently during the lockdown, she rode around the neighbourhood and dropped off the toys at each child's house," he said.
