The Monsters by Tinybop

The Monsters by Tinybop is an open-ended creature-building toy using shapes, colors, sounds and playful reactions.

Our take

Choose for imaginative monster creation with children.

Separate user spaces let children keep their own creatures while experimenting with expressive features.

Keep in mind: It is a creative toy rather than an assessed learning curriculum, and some children may dislike spooky imagery.
