Scarily Good Monster Toys and Gifts

Monster toys are always a firm favourite with kids. From grumpy green ogres to friendly giants, there is no denying that kids love imaginary creatures. Unsurprisingly, these mythical beasts are everywhere, from classic fairy tales to modern kids’ films. So, although they may be portrayed as frightening, monstrous creatures have a timeless, enduring appeal.

Besides reading about them, watching them on the television, and playing with toys, many kids also like to make up monster-themed games. So, if your kids chase you around the house while growling and trying to tickle you in one of these games, you will understand what we mean! From boredom-busting beastly toys to gruesomely good gifts, kids love them all! But, the big question is…

Why do Kids Love Monster Games?

Toys and games that feature made-up creatures allow kids to let their imaginations run wild. This opens up lots of opportunities for the kinds of role-playing fun and imaginative games kids love. The fact that imaginary beasts can be a little bit scary also brings added excitement to playtime.

Another reason that kids love toys and games featuring beastly creatures is that they allow them to explore their fear in a safe, fun environment. Of course, not all monstrous creatures are scary. Many toys and games aimed at kids feature brightly-coloured monsters with funny faces, which add to their appeal.

From a fiendishly fun maths game to a brain-popping zombie, check out these ghoulish games and toys:
