THE GIANT SOCK MONKEY

Do you know sock monkeys? Well, if you are familiar with stuffed animals then you probably do, if not, well; a sock monkey is a stuffed little monkey that is made of socks, they are usually palm-sized and super adorable, and unique too, making one would usually take 2 to 3 socks. But have you ever wondered what would happen if you make a sock monkey not out of a pair of sucks but out of 66 long socks? Well, a British young girl named Jody Lewis asked the same question back in 2015, and thankfully, she was curious enough to actually try it, so she gathered the calf-length socks, all 66 of them and she started stitching.

In her interview with the World Record Academy, Lewis said; “I’ve got a big list of things that I want to do in life, and breaking a world record was one of them,”. Well, Lewis had created not only a World Record breaker Monkey but also a lifetime of cuddles and hugs from a unique friend. Well, the sad thing about these colossal plushies is that we cannot have them, and visiting them would be a bit too difficult as well, but the thing is; if those people could do it, maybe one day we will witness one of our friends or family do it as well, and that is the beauty of it. The world of giant plushies isn’t specific to gigantic world record-breaking ones, but there is a ton of other adorable plushies that you can purchase, plushies that are bigger than you, like lifelike Lions or Wolves, or giant 2 meters teddy bears or even a lifelike stuffed alligator, but the thing about plushies is that; size doesn’t really matter that much, what is important is having the little plush buddy at your side, always ready for playtime or nap time, always baring that cute smile in their face and waiting for the next play command. Plushies can be big, but that isn’t their most loved quality, plushies are friends of old and companions for a lifetime, and no matter how old we get, we never forget our first stuffed animal, and some lucky ones among us still have it.
Making the world’s largest stuffed animal is perhaps not about the animal but about the bonds that we create while making it and the smiles that the big plushie extracts out of the faces of strangers; such as in the case of the Mexican teddy bear or the moon rabbit, witnessing one can be a chance to reflect how small and vulnerable we are, and therefore be more grateful for what we already have.
