Our house was invaded by pint-sized Monster Hunters today. The theme of Eva’s party was Backyard Monster Hunt. This is something that Eva and I came up with on our own then we posted it to Cooper and Kid and the Time to Play Site. We also posted about it on this blog.
When the kids arrived they were given a piece of cardboard. They were tasked with designing a new Monster for the Monster Hunt. When the kids were done I took a photo of each of them with their monsters. We intended to go out tot he yard and hunt the monsters with some Nerf Blasters.
