We have a monster in our house. Luckily, he’s not a very scary one. He comes out usually right after dinner, but right before bedtime. He,… is our .
In a deep not-so-scary voice, our Tickle Monster whispers, “I’m gonna GET you, I’m GONNA GET YOU!” It’s really the basic game of chasing and squealing, but oh it does my heart good. My kids try to reach the official ‘safe zone’, but they inevitably get caught by the Tickle Monster and, of course, are TICKLED. Lots.
There are few things better in this world, than kids laughing. The best is when you hear a gut laugh that is so genuine, you know it must hurt their tummy a little.
Then they all BEG to have a turn as the Tickle Monster, but let’s be honest. Daddy does it best.
And once they’re all tuckered out, they usually ask for one of their favorite bedtime stories: The Tickle Monster.
This sweet and simple nightly game, is one of the joys I look forward to every day. I’m sure glad we have a Tickle Monster living at our house. Do you have one living at your home too? I think they are common monsters. 😉
Do you have any fun family games? I highly recommend making tickle time a top priority. You really don’t need any fancy tickle gloves to become a great monster, but you can find the . It really would make the perfect gift for Father’s Day. It’s one of those gifts that keeps on giving.
“All you need in the world is love and laughter. That’s all anybody needs. To have love in one hand and laughter in the other.” -August Wilson

Susan Lewis says
My babies are 31 and 32! When they were little my husband would come home from work every day, walk in the door and shout, “I’m gonna get some babies!” They would scream and run as fast as they could to jump on our bed. My youngest daughter’s little legs were so short she had to be helped onto the bed. They laughed and laughed when he found them and tickled them. thanks for reminding me.
P.S. I love the tickle book.
holly says

Shannon says
pick us! we’d love a tickle monster book!
Jonette says
I would love a tickle monster kit to relieve contention at our house. When I get mad and say “That’s it, you’re gonna get it!” They wonder what they are going to get. Of course they expect a grounding, a phone to be taken away and extra chore or time out. Then I start to run after them and say “I’m gonna tickle you to death.” The chase begins. I tickle until we are smiling and giggling. Then we catch our breath and the tension is gone and we can usually get back on track with what we need to do or talk about. It defuses anger and frustration and it works on all 4 of my kids age 19 to 3. But truthfully our family needs to see the tickle monster a little more often and with this kit, maybe the kids wouldn’t mind being the tickle monster too. That way they can resolve their disputes with each other.
You ladies bring inspiration to us all. You do a great job. Keep it coming!
Racquel Stallings says
My kids and I saw this book at the store while we were out today and LOVED it! I hope I get picked so I can surprise them with it and a tickle!

We love to tickle around here… I would love this book and those furry gloves!
Valerie says
We have a tickle monster at our house too! He grabs a kid by his leg, pull them in and attacks! Then the others run squeeling & trying to distract the monster while the nabbed one sneaks away. This would put one more element of fun into this precious Daddy/Kid time. Heaven knows there isn’t enough of it 🙂
Angel Adams says
We need a tickle monster at our house to help my boys have sweet dreams. My 6 year old has been having bad dreams… not sure why. I think that the tickle monster will make him happy enough to drift off to sleep with a smile.

I was going to have the kids each pick their favorite book to give him, so he will have a copy and they will have a copy, and he can read them stories via Skype.

I would love to have a Tickle Monster kit in our home. When our three children were little, my husband would become the “Tickle Monster” (said with a loud, slightly scary, fun voice with hands formed into monster claws) and chase the kids around the house, too. They loved it. Now that they are all grown and are parents themselves, Grandad entertains our three adorable granddaughters with the Tickle Monster. I agree with you, there is no sweeter sound than children giggling with that good ol’ belly laughter! Thanks for the opportunity to win one of these kits. Karrie

Oh my goodness, what fun this set would be. We have 4 little ones and the day is just not complete without a round of “Tickle Torture!” Sometimes it’s one on one and sometimes it’s all 6 of us involved.

Jennifer Brown says
This would be so fun for my husband to be able to do with our two kidddos when he gets home, they always want to hang out/play with him the second he comes in, would be great for before dinner. I know the kids would love it….and my husband too.

What a wonderful idea! The photos are just absolutely beautiful -they made me smile. My little ones are 6, 3 and 5 months old and LOVE when their daddy tickles them until they cry. Since daddy works crazy hours he doesn’t get a lot of time to spend with the kiddos so he has to make the best of what he does get. This would be a wonderful gift for Father’s Day for daddy & the kids! Thanks for offering this giveaway!
Judy Exham says
I really need this for my husband and daughter!! My daughter is 18 months and she has the best laugh! It makes me so happy after a long day to come home and see her smile and laugh 🙂
kim wester says
My daughter says she is a tickle monster now….. I can only imagine how much fun she would have with these!
Theresa Thompson says
How cute are THESE?!?! I can’t wait for my lil’ monster to get a bit bigge, so that he can pee his pants laughing instead of just pee his diaper!
Teri says
Our tickle monster usually comes out at the same time as yours, must be union rules 🙂 My little ones love it and like your, I love to hear their laughter. So anything that gets them giggling more is something I want in my home.
Kathy (Kangaroo Mama) says

I love to tickle my kiddo and so does my husband, she’s got the best laugh! We need one of these kits because who doesn’t want to be the official tickle monster??!! So cute!!
Carmen says
I love the idea of an active “game” to go along with a story. My daughter is just getting to the age where she might become interested in reading with her parents. This sounds like so much fun! We already have some “I’m going to get you” type tickle games and occasionally let our daughter catch us for tickling 🙂
Racquel says
My kids love to be tickled and this would bring even more laughter!
Megen Hood says
Because you can never have too many tickles!

I would be thrilled to win one of these kits as my daughter has given these kits away as gifts and now she is pregnant with their first child. She would love it! Thank you for the chance to win!
Reese Son says
I would love to give this to my husband for father’s day. It’s his first one as a daddy and he loves to play with his little guy getting him to dance and tickling him trying to get him to giggle. Our little guy has only given up his giggles twice (for grandma…luckily we were there!). Despite our best efforts my husband and I only get squeals of delight. The tickle monster may be just what we need to get him giggling all the time. Is there anything better in the world than hearing the sound of your precious angel laughing? I think not! Thanks for considering us!
Brittany Dunks says
I would love to win this for my kids we always tickle them and love to hear them laugh. They are the perfect age as we love to read books and pretend there are tickle bugs on them!
Samantha Willie says
We love the tickle monster, and we didn’t even know it was a book! Our little guy would loves this at our house!

Laughter is the best stress reliever. Who wouldn’t need that with a house with kids. Too cute.

Amanda H. says
Love! Our little one tickles Daddy’s feet every night!!
Sharon Benson says
My husband already tickles us constantly so he might as well be official and do it properly!
Ashley Johnson says
My girls definitely need more tickle monster time. Since reading the post, we have started having tickle time more often, but this set would make it so much more fun for them, and more fun for Daddy too!
Angel says
We need this at our house to add to the laughter.
Andrea says
This would be the perfect addition to my husband’s nightly routine of reading to our son before bed. Love the idea for Father’s Day!
Kristen says
We play the “magic key” game when my kids lock me up by wrapping their arms around my neck. I get our my pointer finger, or the “magic key” and it always unlocks their arms. the tickle monster would be a great addition to our tickling fun!
Briana Dommer says
That is so darling! With 4 little children at our house, we definitely need a tickle monster!

Kelly Moore says
I want a TICKLE MONSTER kit so that my husband, myself and our precious adopted China doll can LAUGH our heads off at night. After bible reading, she gets to pick out a “fun” book. How fun would it be to end the day in laughter….for all of us. To put aside the stresses of this world and just giggle.
Erica says
OMGosh, too cute! Daddy works a lot – this would be so cute to see him play with the boys. Heart’s melting already. <3
Em says
We recently received this book as a present and LOVE it! What a great gift!
Michelle says
Okay, so maybe I’m a little hormonal as I am currently pregnant, but I kid you not that I teared up at the joy that this kit would give my husband (nevermind the fun for our child). For a man that is so over-the-moon about being a father every day (seriously, I think he was more excited when we first became pregnant than I was), this would be a fantastic “gift that keeps on giving.” What a phenomenal idea!!
Samantha O. says
This is the greatest idea. We always play the tickle game, but this would make it sooooo much better.
valerie says
Would love to have this book! I adore listening to my son laugh…one of the greatest moments is just listening to laughter from a little one!
April Bean says
OH!!!! I hope Im not too late. I REALLY need this kit for Father’s Day. I just know my hubby AND kids would love it. This is looks so fun.
Kellie says
We are going through some big changes and some tickles and laughs would be perfect right about now. WOuld love to see the huge smiles on our girls faces when Daddy pulls out the Tickle Monster Hands.
Whitney S. says
My boys would absolutely love this! They beg their Daddy for tickles all the time! I bet it would become a favorite in no time! I have heard the book is great and I need a few new ones in our library to get my boys excited to read again!
Emily says
SO CUTE!!!!
Diana says
I must say that my kids have this book and we absolutely LOVE it. It is seriously great for ALL AGES and, yes, everyone always wants a turn being the tickle monster, even our 1 y/o!! Love family playtime and people who promote it! Love your blog 🙂
Ami w/AliLily says
This is so stinken cute!! I love the pics of the baby girl tickle monster chasing dad!! 🙂
Erin says
What a great idea! I have been stumped for Father’s Day gifts this year…with a new addition in our home, my brain is fried. This would be a great way for Daddy to give attention to our toddler and give Daddy something practical and fun–hard to fill both those needs.
Shirley Thrailkill says
WHAT A FABULOUS IDEA! THANKS FOR SHARING THIS INFO, TOTALLY LOVE, LOVE YOUR BLOG ON THE TICKLE MONSTER!
Felicia says
It is on my Amazon wish list!

We would LOVE to have the tickle moster because out 1st Grand daughter LOVES it when her Pap plays tickle bug with her. It was accually the first time she giggled. Her eyes get REALLY big and she lets out the biggest giggle.
Trina says
I remember the Tickle Monster visiting our home when I was little. And it came back to visit when our boys were little. Now our boys are grown (20 and 21) so we will wait (gladly) until the Tickle Monster returns to visit our home again.
cynthia Oliver says
How can we get one of these? my husband better known as Grampy, has been our tickle monster for along time. HE really needs the tools of the trade.Thank you Cindy Oliver
Erin says
My Cousin gave this to me for a shower gift and we love it! We read and play with it all the time! My cousin is now pregnant with her first and I would love to win one for her!

Jennifer says
Because I want to hear belly laughs from my daughter 🙂
Jenn says
We definitely need one because those cute fuzzy hands can only make our tickle fights that much better!!!
Rhee Jones says
I really need a tickle kit for my wonderful son-in-law, Max. Our daughter, Finn, and Max are expecting their first child due on July 8th. Ohh and we just found out its a girl!!
I think it’s so important for traditions to be made early in a child’s life and why not start when it’s first born with reading to her nightly. I KNOW Max is going to make a wonderful father to their little girl and having his first Father’s Day right before she is born (we hope) is really special.
Max and their daughter already “play” together. Yes, you heard me correctly, they play together. Max started doing “raspberries” on Finn’s tummy and she in turn kicks Max away. Hahaha we’re not sure if Finn considers it much fun but now when she hears her Daddy’s voice she begins kicking. I believe this bond began before she shows herself will continue throughout her life.
We all know how girls need their Daddy’s and having the Tickle Monster kit is going to keep their fun time of bonding going and this time Finn won’t get ‘caught in the middle’.
Thank you so much for this opportunity to brag on our fantastic daughter and her wonderful husband. It’s my favorite subject!! Well, at least until our first grand baby is born!
Yolanda S. says
This is so cute! My husband is our “Tickle Monster”.
manika says
well my husband reads with our little girl but he is not really very good at making silly sounds and all. So i guess this is “as easy as it gets” kind of thing. Hoping to have more giggles before sleep time at our home with this.
Joy says
I could use all 3 tickle monster kits! One for my husband and the other 2 for the grandpas!
Kristy Latoria says
We Love To Play Tickle Monster, Although, We Could Use Those Adorable Gloves!
Jennifer says
This would be perfect for my husband. We are first time parents and our baby will be our only baby. Thanks for the opportunity :}
Danielle Fish says
Kid laughter is music to the ears! My baby is two, and I know he won’t have that belly laugh forever — this would be a fun way to engage both kids and fill the house with laughter!!! Super cool.
Terrie says
I have 3 grandsons. But, the Dad of 1 of my Grandsons chooses not to be in his life, the only papa he had ,has passed away and that leaves me(nana) and his mother to cherish the play time we have with him. And, he loves to be chased & tickled ! A wonderful gift to have !
Katie says
Yes please – this would be an awesome way to end the day!
Raelyn Anderson says
I would love this for the grandkids when they come to visit
Emilie says
My dad used to always bring out the tickle monster but we never had an official kit. This would be so great to remind me of my childhood laughter as well as create new memories with my children!

Melissa says
I love this idea! We already play this game, but it would be even better with this kit 🙂
Carla C Blevins says
My daughter and my husband are my light! We would love to have a tickle monster in our house because my daughter loves books and already calls her daddy her “stinky monster”. This would add so much laughter and fun!
Lara says

michelle says
We as well have a tickle monster in our house…..and you are right there is nothing better in the world than the laughter of children!
Jocelyn Bracken says
I would love this to announce my first pregnancy to my husband!
Taryn Espino says
I am a divorced mama of 3. My ex-husband is a 36 days a year, by choice, kind of dad. Taking on both roles of mother and father is very difficult, but can also be very rewarding. I would love this for me to use! It would be such a fun and loving time together with my kids who don’t get that kind of interaction from their dad. It is something that we could save and pass down to the next generation. I love it!
Milica says
Right now my 8,6,and 4 year olds are attempting to clean their rooms and playroom and there is much grumbling and trumping. We need this to keep spirits light when necessary chores seem daunting and crabbiness ensues
Donna says
With 18 grandchildren, Grandpa’s fingers have been very busy! This Tickle Monster glove is the cutest! What memories would be made!

I Would love one of these for my husband and daughter. I am a stay at home mom so she has naturally become a mommy’s girl and comes to me for everything, sometimes I can tell my husband gets upset that she prefers me so much more over him. It would be nice for them to have something that she looks forward to doing with just him. 🙂

I do not write many responses, however after reading through a great deal of responses here The tickle monster | How Does She.
I do have 2 questions for you if you do not mind. Is it
just me or does it look as if like some of these remarks come across like they
are coming from brain dead folks? 😛 And, if you are posting at
additional sites, I’d like to keep up with you. Would you post a list of all of your public sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
Karen says
