The mailman came the other day while Ryan was diligently helping me plant my garden. What he brought tore Ryan away for the remainder of the day. He brought a Big Eye Dummy, and to be specific, we received Milton the cat. I have to be honest, I was surprised this cute little plush doll could keep Ryan’s attention for as long as it did. It has been hours total at the least.

Big Eye Dummies are super soft animals that come with 2 sets of eyes and 2 mouths so you can interchange as you please. They are just the right size for snuggling. To me they resemble a cartoon character. Ryan and even Olivia have had a blast changing out the eyes, putting mouths where eyes are supposed to be and vice versa. Oscar, our dog, has even tried to claim Milton as his own, but Ryan refuses to let him.

Big Eye Dummies are created and designed by David Lipson in New York City. As it states on the website he is a dumdum himself. “Big Eye Dummies are made for people who love big eyes and dummies, and enjoy mixing the two together, because they know deep in their heart that DUMB IS FUN.”

Big Eye Dummies are mom approved in this house! The material is super soft as I mentioned previously. Milton has this bit of a, for lack of a better term, crazy side. I like it though, it adds a little sense of humor to a toy that generally does not have one. It has let my children be creative with the placement of the eyes and mouth and overall has been a fun and interesting plush toy.
