Why This Little Devil Is So Cheeky
Two small horns and a pointy goatee are the classic devil features, but here they look playful, not scary. The big grin shows there's just a little jokester behind the mask. In classic red with black horns, the little devil looks extra mischievous. For kids five and up, it's a mask that lets them feel delightfully cheeky.

Play Ideas for Little Devils
In a mischief game, each little devil suggests a harmless prank, like moving all the stuffed animals to new spots. Play Hot Lava and hop from pillow to pillow without touching the floor. Hold a giggle contest for the cheekiest laugh. Then switch roles, and for one round, the devils are extra kind and help others.
Fun Facts About Little Devils
Devil characters have appeared in fairy tales and folk traditions for a very long time. In many fairy tales, the devil gets outsmarted in the end – like in the Grimm tale The Devil with the Three Golden Hairs. In some European carnival parades, devil figures are a traditional part of the fun. When kids are extra cheeky, people sometimes lovingly call them little devils. There's even a real animal with devil in its name: the Tasmanian devil, which can let out a very loud screech.
