ready for decoration

Decorate your Monster Spray bottles:
Once your Monster Spray is made, have your children decorate the bottles (with your help, of course!). Collect some craft supplies and let the children make their Monster Spray bottles unique to them! Some ideas include: Scraps of fabric, ribbons, pipe cleaners, googly eyes, sequins, beads, buttons, flowers, stickers, etc. (Don’t forget the glue!) The kids will know which decorative accessories to use to make sure those monsters know they mean business!

decoration examples – you can use almost anything!

I had a friend’s children come over to help decorate these bottles and this is what they came up with…pretty cool huh?! I think it lends a bit more “magic” to the Monster Spray when the children decorate it themselves.
