We’ve had some Monster problems lately, especially in closets. These particular monsters like to pop out at night and say “I am going to get you THIS NIGHT!”.  They’re creepy, furry things that lurk in the shadows when the lights are off and Mom and Dad are asleep.  They go away when the lights are on, but they always seem to sneak back in.

To finally get these guys once and for all, we made some Monster spray.   I printed out a few monster-ish looking pictures from my computer and ran them through my Xyron machine to make them into stickers for our Monster Spray bottle.  We used an old bottle of OFF, (rinsed out very well) water, and a teeny-tiny pinch of Kool-Aid for our Monster spray.

I’m sure whatever ingredients you use at your house will get rid of your monsters.

. The things children fear may seem irrational to us, but they are very real to the little one with a very vivid imagination.  Meeting your child where they are at is sometimes the best way to combat their fear and finally catch that monster by the tail.  Kids won’t listen to reason when they are terrified.  They don’t want your rationale , they want a solution.  Our solution was making Monster Spray…an imaginary cure for an imaginary problem.  We’re hoping it works because we are tired of those monsters keeping us up all night.

So, tell me.  What would you do about the monster problem?
