This Crafter Makes Adorable Handmade and Unique Animals Your Kids Will Love

Mauvais Marie is a small business created by Elsa Bouchina, a Portuguese architect, crafter and proud mom of two little ones. According to her store’s Instagram bio, she creates unique playful things, designed and handmade by herself. Bananas, different types of animals like monkeys, cats, mice, foxes, and other adorable creatures can be found in Mauvais Marie.

She also designs little mushrooms which she named Mushi Mushi, which is the only fungi you want to see growing in your wardrobe. Although they seem like they could be a unique toy to play with, their cap is actually filled with dried organic lavender buds that have a sweet relaxing scent.

Lavender is known to be great for its calming effect; it reduces stress and anxiety, helps with sleeplessness, it’s great for headaches, and it smells really good.
