This product idea is based off a pin I made years ago of a lil frog in a rose and it reminded me of the plush bendy flower toys I used to play with as a child! I thought why not combine the two and make a lil frog plush in a rose plush! 🙂
​The design ended up very close to my original vision with one crucial change being made during the prototyping phase which was adding a magnet to the bottom of the frog and the rose so that they could be connected in a more secure way.
This Concept Design Sheet includes multiple examples of plush roses for the manufacturer to reference.
On their first sample, the frog was perfect other than colour changes but the rose petals looked very flat and lifeless compared to a sample I got previously from a different manufacturer (seen in note 2). The process for this sample was very smooth and after these notes were delivered, the next prototype was perfect and looks just like the finals in the images at the top of the page!
