After finding and loving a book about monsters at the library, my kids were inspired to have a monster themed book club for their friends.
Invitations were sent out, and we started the fun of planning a spooky menu of finger foods.
While searching Pinterest, I discovered candy eye balls that I found in store at Target. They looked wonderful pushed into Rice Crispy treats and warm chocolate chip cookies.
Drawing inspiration from some of our favorite monster reads, I put together the rest of the menu. We had creepy carrots and monster toe nail clippings (just like the ones bunnies love from
The Princess in Black).
We started with an attention grabbing video from
Storyline of I Need My Monster that a friend who teaches first grade recommend, and our kids loved it as much as her students.
Next we looked at the books everyone brought, and friends were excited to share their favorite stories with each other. We wrapped it up by reading as a whole group from
The Princess in Black, Creepy Carrots!, and Dragons Love Tacos (which is coming to
Michigan Theater in January 2018!).
What are your favorite books about monsters? Do you have any fun ideas for future kid book club themes?
