Worry Yummy Monster Children's Soft Toy - 28cm (11") Soft Cuddly Toy For Kids - Boys & Girls Anxiety, Stress & Fear Reducing Sleep Companion - Green 'Hank'

Great value for money. Material is really good and the monster looks great. Looks exactly like pictured. Soft Material same colour and size as depicted.

A colourful and useful addition to the family so far!We decided to order this on a whim after a really positive school experience at our little ones preschool. Since it arrived, it's been helpful not only for sharing and managing actual worries, but also for practicing communication about worries with others. On the first day of having it, I overheard my preschooler asking her toddler brother if he has any worries, and that he can share it with the worry monster if he does. Since then, she has regularly checked in with us about if we have worries to share and has brought the worry monster to me when she had one that she wanted to add.I hadn't measured up beforehand (just went off of the photos) and I'd say it's slightly smaller than I expected given that. Its a decent size to fit in a kid backpack, but if I had to order again or for an older child (my eldest is 5), I'd probably go for the larger size

Purchased to help my child with his anxieties, and it has been really useful. Worries are written down and fed to the worry monster and I think just having the toy at night has really helped

I am not sure if these will be useful for my nephews I am hoping they will, however my review is based on initially receiving it, there is no information to let them know how to use it so I will need to explain because otherwise it just looks like a teddy with a zip on it's mouth, I would have thought this would be obvious to make this clear, it has a label on but just has an example of messages but still not how it works, disappointed with this aspect but not able to say if it works yet. I will update this review once I get feedback.

I've only ever seen the 'other' brand of worry monsters so these were interesting when I saw them. Decided to take the plunge. Bought 2 for a friend's children in preparation for them moving house (and schools so they were both a bit on edge) they went down a storm. I think these are better quality than others I've seem and maybe they were a pound or 2 more than the alternative brand but I'm so glad I chose these. They also come in 3 different sizes which is fab. Soft, cute and excellent quality

My daughter has developed anxiety and often feels worried. Having this cute worry monster helps, especially before bed. Very cute looking and soft, the zipper is easy to open and close, and chunky enough for her small hands.

I wasn't sure what to expect, having never purchased a worry monster or similar before. My son thinks it is epic though. Worries are written on a piece of paper and 'fed' to his monster. When I remove them overnight, it means I have an insight into what he might be anxious about, and can start to unpick it without him necessarily having to speak to me about it directly. This hasn't replaced us talking about big things, but for his little niggles, this has been great to learn more about how his mind works. I would definitely recommend for anybody with a child that sometimes gets anxious or overwhelmed.

My son absolutely adores this monster. Lovely design, good quality, good size.
