Monsters, Monsters, Go Away

A few weeks ago, I had two kiddos that were being quite the handful on a Saturday morning.  I was trying to figure out how I could creatively address the issue, so we decided to have a "monster" day.  We pretended that we were little monsters and I needed their help getting the bad monsters out of the house...don't worry....the good monsters were allowed to stay.  Here's how we did it.

First, we made monster cookies.  What kid doesn't like these?  My kids LOVE helping me cook and they especially like sampling the batter and stealing chocolate chips.  :)

Next, we made monster finger jello.

And, last but not least, we made monster crafts.

By the time we were done with everything, I had my sweet kiddos back and the mean monsters had gone away.  Sometimes it just takes a little creativity and lots of patience to get back on track.  Although it ended up being a fun day, I'm hoping that we don't have any little monsters make any reappearances in the near future.
