About Fluffytown

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! Rachel Bright says: "It’s so exciting to see Love Monster and his friends in Fluffytown come to life on the screen. The series really captures their charm and humour and I love seeing them go on even more colourful and fun adventures." 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! Tiniest Fluffiest Bunny is excited for Love Monster to try carrots, but it turns out he doesn't like them at all.

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!”

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.

Each day brings an exciting new occasion or event such as Sharing With Others Day, Build A Snowman Day or Hot Chocolate Day. Love Monster is always very excited to join in, but often finds that by trying too hard to follow his over-thinky head rather than his heart, things can go wrong… but with a lot of help from his friends and a little serendipity, he discovers how to make things right in the end, and follow his heart while building his inner confidence.
