Lilia is eight years old. Two years ago, she and her mother Polly started to make Lilia’s drawings become toys.

“Lilia loves riding horses. She’s been riding horses since she was two,” Polly said. The toys they made first were some horses. These horses had smiles on their faces.

Seeing her drawings become toys is exciting. Lilia wants other children to feel the same happiness. Then Lilia and her mother began to help other kids to turn their drawings into toys.

There was one toy that made Lilia cry. It was a sad story. The toy was made using the last drawing of a young girl before she died. It was a gift from the girl’s aunt to her mum. “We did all that we could to make it as good as possible,” Polly said.
