What came first, the chicken or the egg? or in this case it goes more like this – What inspired my kids more? Monsters University movie or the Monsters U themed Kinder egg?
It’s hard to say really, but we took that inspiration and turned one of our recent adventures into a Monster of a Mission!
Monster Rocks
A twist on the classic pet rock, we Monster-ized the idea into Pet Monster Rocks! Stopping in to our favourite little watering hole with some frozen lemonade and a mission to explore the grounds for our favourite rocks, we scoured the area for some good ones. I was a little disappointed we couldn’t find anything bigger, but the boys were happy with their findings.
At home we filled the water table full of warm water and bubbles and the boys scrubbed their rocks clean.
After some lunch, the rocks were dry and we got to work painting them into friendly, and not-so-friendly Monsters!
The next day, when the paint had completely dried, we came back and added glitter glue, yarn and googly eyes to complete the look!
Maybe not as soft and cuddly as Sulley, but fun just the same
