At the heart of the town is the Green - a pretty, heart-shaped expanse with an amazing Bubble Tree at its centre, softly blowing bubbles into the sky. Here townsfolk love to gather and many of Fluffytown’s special events take place on the Green. Book Cub’s mobile library and fro-yo van is handily placed here too. The big bouncy castle is nearby, and there’s a lovely sandy beach - perfect for sunbathing or stargazing! Love Monster wants to show off his conch shell - but everyone else has unicorn-themed objects for the presentation! After helping Fluffytowners find their lost property at the Lost Things Office, Love Monster loses Monster Teddy and can’t find him anywhere. You see sometimes, it’s when you stop to think of others that you start to find out just how much they think of you.

Elder Kitten is the leader of the Council of Cuteness and main host of the hottest breakfast radio show in town.This 54x7’ 2D animated series follows the colourful and funny adventures of lovable hairy hero Love Monster as he searches for the right thing to do in a world in which he is one of a kind.

In this post today, I’m going to explain why Love Monster is a great show for your preschoolers to watch. What is Love Monster all about? 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. Love Monster is a character that children can relate to. Its huge appeal is that the show is all about love, kindness, and connecting. He doesn’t get things right the first time, but that’s totally OK. Just try again. It’s good for helping children to get to know their feelings, and understand them says Leah Brennan who is a chartered clinical psychologist from Mindscape Psychology.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. 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!” In the episode Favourite Library Book Day, the skills highlighted in this are calming or settling emotions before we try. Solving problems and taking responsibility when you think you’ve done the wrong thing. Within each episode of Love Monster, there are examples of life learning tips. For example in Plant a Seed Day, patience is a great skill to learn. This is shown in waiting for the seeds to grow. I pointed this one out for us as L has little patience and is always so eager to get on she just can’t wait!

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. 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. Star Trek legend George Takei joins some of the UK’s best actors and voice talent, including Tamsin Greig, Darren Foreman, Sarah Hadland and Javone Prince in the distinguished cast of this warm and charming TV adaptation. In Fluffytown every day brings something special. It could be an exciting challenge such as Paint A Picture Day, Build A Snowman Day or Plant A Seed Day; a celebration of nature like Hot Hot Day or Shooting Star Night; a community spirited event such as Tidy Up Day, Happy To Help Day or Taking Turns Day; or just plain fun, like Perfect Pineapple Party Day, Bouncy Slidey Day, Picnic Night or Super Fun Day. So Love Monster is a children’s animated TV show for preschoolers on CBeebies. It’s full of colourful funny adventures of a loveable hairy hero Love Monster, who searches for the right thing to do. in a world in which he is one of a kind.

Did we miss something on diversity?

She always seems to have an answer, even if Love Monster needs to do a bit of work interpreting what it means.
