A Kickstarter campaign introduces monster themed nutcracker ornaments to celebrate diversity this holiday season. A unique $25 Christmas gift with a social message.

Brooklyn, Sept, 10, 2019 — Monster Crackers, LLC., announces today the Kickstarter launch of their hand-crafted, monster collectible holiday ornaments with fifteen unique characters that celebrate underrepresented groups not usually found in kid’s stories or on a Christmas tree. Two illustrated children’s books further develop the characters with uplifting tales that inspire and entertain with positive lessons.

“Who made the rule that Christmas stories have to be limited to reindeer, santa and snowmen? And most of all, why are nutcrackers soldier dudes? We’re changing things up with monster crackers!” explains Co Creator, Robert Sumrell; “ Monsters are awesome, they represent the outsiders, the marginalized, and anyone who has the courage to be yourself when you feel a little different”. Monster Crackers expand the presence of strong women, independent children, queer and non-binary role models and monsters throughout the holidays. They are perfect for monster collectors, and people who love modern design.

You can back Monster Crackers on their Kickstarter page beginning September 9; starting at $10 for a digital copy of both books or as little as $25 for an ornament.
