Silly Monster Party
How to have a silly monster theme birthday party
Calling all the monsters! Hey, Mom-ster, if your little monster is having a birthday and
you're planning a party, then try an outrageously cute and unforgettable silly little
monster party filled with google eyes, horned creatures, crazy monster teeth and
rolled tongues. Here's how:
- Stock up on monster eyes. Left, icing sugar eyes will come in handy not only for
your silly monster cupcakes and cake pops, but also for edible crafts. Try
"gluing" them to mugs and glasses with dabs of frosting.
- Monster feet! Make your own monster feet from tin cans or buy the cute ready
made monster feet, lower right. Under $10 and with free shipping, this is a
monstrously fun activity for the kiddos. Or start saving tissue boxes and get
creative: two tissue boxes and some acrylic paints will make terrific monster
slippers. Either way, kids will have a fun time stomping around or crafting.
- Monster party plates: Serving monster mash is sure to be a smash with the
melamine monster plates, pictured top left. They're heat resistant, dishwasher
safe, and will help you keep memories long after the party is over. Or clean
them up and send kids home with a plate full of monster cookies as a favor.
Monster Cakes and Treats
While your little cookie monster certainly will appreciate the monster of a party you
create by finding cool stuff online, you can also get crafty baking these festive treats
from scratch:
- Monster pops: Packed with eye-popping appeal, the simple monster pops, left,
are actually brownies covered in fondant and a light icing. Better Homes &
Gardens shows you how to make each monster pop pictured. Surely you'll invent
your own once you get a hang of this sweet idea.
- Silly monster cupcakes: Wacky, weird and wonderful you'll be proud to show off
the creepy creations for cupcakes using Wilton's cupcake monster recipes
pictured top and immediate left. Get out the toothpicks, gum drops, licorice and
chocolate covered candies to craft antennae and green tongues. And be sure
to add the silly feet, right, to give your monster cupcakes the finishing touch.
- Monster treats: Get more monstrously cute recipe sweet treat ideas from the

make use of pompoms and pipe cleaners, too.
