This project began as an occasional way for me to document my girls’ favorite toys. Every couple of weeks or so, I’d see a beloved toy lying on the floor or counter or bedside. It was intended to be just a record of their love for their most prized possessions. I watched as my then 6 year old made up voices for the figures as she played with them. That quickly tuned my documentation project into something bigger as the toys ‘came to life’ with their own stories.
