I am so excited to introduce you to a company that I recently learned about called Cryoow! It is a company based in beautiful Bali that was the “brain-child” of the owners 7 year old daughter, Nora. Cryoow! stands for “Create Your Own”. Nora asked a local tailor to create a doll from a drawing she had made and with that idea, came this wonderful business.
Kris and I had the opportunity to experience this process first hand since Waly and his staff in Bali offered to let our kiddos submit a drawing to be made into a real doll.
My daughter really enjoys drawing, coloring and painting so I knew she’d be up for this. The morning I told her the exciting news, we sat down at the table together and drew several different pictures. We had a great time inventing new pictures. After we were finished, I told my daughter to pick out which drawing she’d like to have made into a REAL doll. I scanned the picture to Cryoow! and within a few weeks, we received our awesome dolls.
The dolls came in very pretty packaging that included a fun bracelet and a certificate stating who made the doll and who the doll belonged to.
I expected the dolls to look similar to the drawings Kris and I submitted for our kids, but I had NO idea they’d be SO detailed. We were both in awe of the dolls. Our kids were very excited to receive them and the expression on their faces after opening their dolls were priceless. The Cryoow! dolls are all handmade, without machines and every single detail of the drawing is taken into consideration while making the doll. Look at the giraffe below that my daughter colored in. She colored harder with the orange crayon near the bottom of the belly and on the actual doll, there is extra stitching to depict the darker color. Now that is what I call detail! There is no room for improvement on these dolls, they are amazing.
These dolls are a perfect gift for any kid (or adult, honestly). Who wouldn’t love to see their unique creation pop off the page and become a 3-D toy to play with? This doll is not just another stuffed animal, this unique piece of art is a very well-made keepsake that I expect to be around well into my daughter’s adulthood.
Do you know a child that would LOVE to create their own doll? Well Cryoow! is giving one of Minnesota From Scratch’s lucky readers a chance to win their own personalized doll. This is a $149 value.
Cryoow! wants you to know that nearly 50% of the cost of the doll goes to DHL shipping.

These are too cute! My son would love one of these 🙂
Yeah, our kids had a blast with this project. Good luck!
This would be perfect for Star!
How great that they donate $5 dollars from each US purchase to help underprivileged children in Bali!
It is very generous of them!
It would be hard to select who would get this if I were to win, I think I’d have to pick from a hat to be fair!
Cryoow began as a tailor business in Bali in 2004.
Not sure who I’d give it to yet.
I would give it to ME, but Sophia would draw it.
Cryoow is based in oiut of Bali and is a taylor business.
Cryoow is a tailor business. I understand why they are so awesome now,
My grandchildwould draw the pic, but I am keeping the doll.
I would give this to my sweet daughter. 🙂
I learned that, depending on the dimensions, accessories your child draws can be incorporated (like the cape!).
These are awesome, and I love that they are the brainchild of a 7 year old.
My 5 year old has an invisible friend and he is always drawing him, he would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE having a doll of Laughy his invisible friend!
Laughy, that is SO cute. 🙂 Good luck!
What a fun idea!
What an awesome idea! Now I want to make a doll for my daughter!
I am so jealous they weren’t around when I was little! That is SO cool!
These are seriously adorable. I’m pretty sure my littles would love one of these!
My 8 year old would love this! She is constantly designing her own Webkinz 🙂
I didn’t know what Webkinz were… I had to look it up 🙂 Good luck to you!
Aww this is such a cute idea.
That’s interesting that they are based in Bali!
I would get this for my niece’s 6th birthday this summer. My own daughter is 15 months so she’s a little too small – but I know my niece would FLIP for this!
I would give it to my son, he would love it!
I like that the company donates to unfortunate children through their sales.
That they donate to help children in Bali
Audrey is such an artist she has already done a huge picture of a unicorn she wants!! Wishful thinking LOL
Good luck!
My step-daughter is an awesome tween artist….her creation would be amazing 🙂
Good luck!!
