Coiledspring Games is introducing Sorgenfresser to the UK, a range of plush characters which feast on worries and nightmares. Children simply write down or draw their worry, pop it in Sorgenfresser’s mouth and close the zipper. There it stays until a parent removes it. Finding a worry offers parents the opportunity to start a conversation, reinforcing the idea that it’s always best to share upsetting thoughts with someone who can help. Developed by Gerhard Hahn, and already hugely popular in Germany,
there are currently 11 characters in the range; Saggo likes eating nightmares and things that hide under the bed, Polli likes eating worries with maple syrup, Biff has three ears to listen with, with more characters expected later in the year. Roger Martin of Coiledspring Games, UK distributor of Sorgenfresser,
said: “Sorgenfresser really are one of a kind, we’ve already had extremely positive feedback from parents and children and we’re sure they’ll be a great success in the UK. Sometimes it can be diffi cult for children to speak to an adult, for whatever reason. Sorgenfresser provide comfort and reassurance and encourage communication.”
