Tiniest Fluffiest Bunny is excited for Love Monster to try carrots, but it turns out he doesn't like them at all. We love to watch the Plant a Seed Day episode, and have applied what we learned in that episode to real life. We were kindly given a selection of activities to accompany the Love Monster children’s TV series and one of those was planting cress. L is a plant lover like me, so this activity was her favourite. She keeps an eye on the cress every day watching it grow in her own decorated terracotta pot. The series is fantastic for applying what is learned to real life, it makes Love Monster something special.

The first book is simply called Love Monster. It’s all about the little hairy monster searching for love. The second book is Love Monster & The Perfect Present. It’s all about searching for the perfect gift on Present Day, which he is finding hard as everything is so expensive and he doesn’t have enough money in his savings jar. But he has an idea to make a homemade gift. This book teaches us that the perfect present doesn’t have to cost the earth to mean the world. Being thoughtful is encouraged.Sometimes a little insecure without Monster Teddy by his side, he’s always searching for the right thing to do (even when he doesn’t really know what that is yet), and often gets so full of feelings that all his words come out at once. With the help of his friends he learns to follow his heart, and not his slightly over-thinky head, a little bit more each day.

When the weather changes from sun to rain, and everyone's sad, Love Monster decides to ask his friends to do indoor activities outdoors!We are always on the lookout for new children’s TV shows to watch, especially ones that are funny and entertaining. With a 2 and a 4 year old to entertain, it’s getting hard to find shows that both of them are into. Little Dottie loves her Peppa Pig and Hey Duggee, and L loves the slightly older shows like Sofia Princess and Umizoomi. But when I introduced them to Love Monster, it was a hit with both of them! Fans of the B.B.C. T.V. show Love Monster simply adore this super soft and huggable toy! The Giggle and Hug Love Monster is a feature plush. This makes it a perfect gift for any young child that watches the hit TV show. Showcasing the importance of kindness, empathy, connection and instinct, Love Monster is full of heart and ‘big life’ learnings for little ones. By watching his adventures as he navigates the challenges involved in being a bit funny looking in a world of cute fluffy things, the young audience at home can also learn to cope with different emotions. Bad Idea Puppy is a good friend of Love Monster and Tiniest Fluffiest Bunny. A bit of a livewire, he can be very unpredictable (possibly down to too many sprinkles), especially when he thinks something is “epic!”

Little Dottie just loves bright colours and movements. L is really getting into understanding what it was all about. It was fantastic to see them both like the same show. I get a few minutes peace now! Love Monster can’t wait to show everyone in Fluffytown his favourite conch shell for Show and Tell Day, until he finds out that the day is meant to be unicorn themed!
