Monster Repellent



Got creepy crawlies under the bed? Boogie men living in your closet? Furious fangs lurking in the hall?

Never fear! The Little Birdies have the solution for you. Scaring away monsters has never been easier. Just a little water and Super Monster Repellant (aka your favorite essential oil) and you have the ingredients for your super Monster Repellant. This potion is so easy to make, your little ones can help too.




Supplies:

Water Spray Bottle (we found ours in the laundry section of the Fred Meyer)
Stickers, paper, pictures of monsters--whatever you want to use to decorate your Monster Repellent Bottle
Water
Super Monster Repellant (this is also known as your favorite essential oil. You can pick this up at your local drug store or health food store)

Once you've gathered all your supplies, you are now ready to make your repellent.

Step One:
Decorate your bottle. The more official it looks, the more fear instilled in the scary monster.

Step Two:
Fill your bottle with water.

Step Three:
Add one or two drops of Super Monster Repellent (essential oil)

Now you are ready to battle anything that comes your way. Monsters hate this spray. One spritz will have them running to the hills so you can have a good night sleep.

    I love this idea. I remember seeing someone using "monster repellent" a long time ago. She wrapped a drawing she made over an air freshener spray. I think the essential oils is a better route though rather than an aerosol can! :)

    I totally had this as a child. We would spray it in the closet and under the bed every night. Worked like a charm!

    I do this for my boys--theirs is a blend of lavender and chamomile but it takes the monsters away :)

    The oils work especially well for little boy bedrooms when they like to tinkle on EVERYTHING!

    What a clever idea! I might have to try that one in my daughters room, I'm pretty sure there are a few monsters under her bed.....it stinks also so the essential oils are gonnafix that too!

    I love this idea too and wish I'd had it several years ago. Think my 7 year old will still 'believe'?

    Love the label! How cute is that? My son is past believing that a spray can get rid of monsters, but the night light does wonders!
