Ayaan, 8, had this to say about his Eggplant car, “My Halloween-themed terrifying car likes to lie under my bed and scare intruders away. You can have fun too when you see how my car frightens the enemies.”

Yo-Pong, 12, drew a Globe man. “It’s the beautiful planet we live on and I dream that one day I can rollerblade to every corner of the Earth. There is only one planet, so we must take good care of it.”

The toys are on sale at $7.90 each.
