Are you using a cheese grater on a popsicle? I swear you kids get weirder every day. You’re working to reveal an I Dig Monsters toy? Have fun with that, let me know what you find inside!
The I Dig Monsters toy came out in 2020 and is a collectible monster figure hidden inside a squishy, popsicle-shaped exterior. Use a variety of tools to cut the outside away to reveal the surprise inside. It’s a great sensory toy with a fun prize as a reward for an excavation well done.
Relieve stress and find a cute companion when you scrape into an I Dig Monsters toy!
An I Dig Monsters toy isn’t your ordinary popsicle. I’m serious, please don’t try to eat it. All jokes aside, this is a great sensory toy with a fun surprise in the middle!
Dig away the exterior coating to retrieve one of the fun collectible 3.25” tall monsters within. Dunk your monster in cold water to experience color-changing action for even more fun.
Each I Dig Monsters kit comes with:
- Popsicle shaped shell
- Tools
- Monster hidden within
- Shape cutters
- Collector’s guide
The monsters are all small Yeti-esque creatures in a variety of colors. Pink, blue, orange, and purple are some of the more common hues. Each has its own unique look and facial expressions!
This kit is also available in a Jumbo size I Dig Monsters which comes with a large monster plush. Inside its mouth, you’ll find the same popsicle as the regular kit, so the only difference is the additional plush toy.
What do you do with I Dig Monsters?
What you do with I Dig Monsters is ultimately peeling away the exterior and enjoying the collectible inside. How fast you choose to get there and with what tools you use is up to you. It’s designed to be a sensory experience with a toy you get to keep.
If you’re a collector, there are 28 different I Dig monsters to find within!
How do you open I Dig Monsters?
Here is how you open I Dig Monsters:
- Open the plastic outer container and then remove the popsicle-shaped block from within
- Slice, peel, or grate the material away to reveal the monster in the middle
Each I Dig Monsters toy comes with two plastic multi-tools to assist, but I won’t blame you if you just grab the cheese grater from the kitchen.
What is I Dig Monster made of?
An I Dig Monster is made of water wax, which is mostly water, combined with some polysaccharide cellulose. It’s a compound seen elsewhere in car and hair care products. You’ll find the consistency similar to a gelatin in that it’s cool, jiggly, and slightly slimy to the touch.
The monster within is made of standard molded plastic. The outer coating is designed to be removed and thrown away – do not ingest. A couple included stamp cutter charms also allow you to create fun cutout shapes from the popsicle material as you go if you’d like.
It’s a fun time, and the cool, smooth material makes for a great sensory experience!
