Monsters in the House

Monsters aren't just under the bed anymore, they're on the bed, the walls, the table and more. And somehow monsters seem kinder and gentler these days as kids embrace them in play. We've put together some of our favorite monster decor and products - links after the jump.

I agree about the "kinder, gentler" monsters I LOVE monsters! I actually sell handmade plush monsters on Etsy, and do the occasional local craft show. At a craft show once, a lady perusing my table said "These shouldn't be called monsters! They're not scary. They're so cute and happy!" I thought it was funny, because the word "monster" makes me think of furry, cute creatures instead of scary ones. Thank you Sesame Street and Monsters Inc!
