Boomonsters Taxidermy

Caught! That monster under my bed

Every now and then I come across something and I literally can’t decide if it’s cool, cute or just gross. But these have been playing on my mind for weeks now, so I think that means they’re really cool! A bit like the ‘wrong animals’ we featured in this column ages ago, “Boo Monsters” are meant to a bit ugly, and little boys will just love them. Rather than being a taxidermy lookalike of a real animal, each monster is different and comes with its own special story of how it was ‘caught’. They’re the ones from under your children’s beds and so catching them means your child can rest easy and sleep. I love the way the designer writes the stories, like this one: “This little guy was so fast! He was flying through the house... but he didn't see my trap.. Hang this little guy on your wall and you will never have another monster under your bed again!!”

Have a look through their website or their shop on Felt.co.nz and find which one looks the most like the one under your child’s bed, and banish those bad dreams.
