Design your silliest or friendliest monster and tell us its story.
Not another costume contest. This one is about the monster your kid invented — and the narration that makes it unforgettable.
100% Private: Your voice recordings & art belongs strictly to you.
Design your silliest or friendliest monster and tell us its story.
“His name is Bob and he eats broccoli so you don’t have to.” That is the whole assignment — any length, in your kid’s own voice.
