Some hug-able robots are now available at Attica Kids (1566 Barrington Street, 423-2557). Stuf’s Robot dolls have arrived in time for fall re-decorations. The toys are assembled from hand silk-screened, cotton canvas and stand up-right. The robots come in multiple sizes and colors (red, green, blue and yellow). If robots don’t appeal, Attica also carries Stuf Bird toys that are similar but use birds instead of robots. Stuf Studio’s products have only recently been distributed in Canada. Prices range from $13 to $25, depending on the size of the toy.
