When you nickname your offspring “Monster” and you teach him to growl like one, this colorful theme is the clear choice. (Please don’t carry on with this if you have nicknamed your kiddo Booga, like another friend of mine.) Corwin’s party is still in the early stages of planning, but a lot of kids from daycare will be invited and goody bags will have teethers, soft plushes, and rattles.

This won’t be a spooky monster mash, but one with lots of googly eyes, bright colors, and some graveyard smashes to do the Transylvania twist to. If you would like to recreate this eerie sight, read on. And if you order from Oriental Trading, please don’t forget my link gets you $10 off $49!
