Our friend Julie Peasley has created “The Particle Zoo”, super-cute plush toys inspired by the standard model of physics. Hey, I don’t understand sub-atomic theory at all, but I love my Higg’s Boson plushy! And it’s weighted (it is the “God particle” after all) so it makes a great paperweight. My daughter Claire went for the equally adorable Gluon. Check ‘em out and nab one for yourself at The Particle Zoo.
