How to make your own magnets for your little monster

What you will need:
Wooden shapes (mine are from Bunnings)
Plastic large/oversized buttons (mine are from a local $2 shop)
Magnets
Hot glue gun
Paint (I used acrylic)

Instructions
1. Paint your wooden shapes the desired colours and wait for them to dry
2. Glue magnets on to the back of the plastic buttons and painted wooden shapes
3. Ensure the glue has fully dried before you give them to your child for use.

Make sure you supervise your child when using the magnets, to stop them from putting them in their mouths (as if the magnet comes off the back of the buttons or shapes it may be a choking hazard).

Monsters and Valentines Day

Happy valentines day to you all!

Our 700 Liker competition is well underway and the pictures coming in are so fabulous...well done kiddies :)

I wanted to see if I could spark your little ones imagination with these 2 inspirational ideas that show you all that monsters are wonderful and can shower you with love on this special day too :)

This 1st one is my favourite...I would love it if I received one of these (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, hubby darling).

This gorgeous card has been created by Charlene and can be found for purchase (along with many other beautiful monster + love designs) at http://www.etsy.com/listing/99221069/i-love-you-little-monster-peek-a-boo

This 2nd one is perfect for the kiddies to try (if you follow the link below, it will take you to a great tutorial).

 

These would make great valentine mail boxes for the kids...or they could just be used to store secret messages inside :)

They have been created by Mariah, (the creative mind behind Giggles Galore) and the tutorial to make them can be found here: http://gigglesgalore.net/tattle-monster/ 

That's all from me for today :)
Remember to keep those kiddies drawing and send them in...happy valentines day to you all!

For My Little Monster's 700 Liker Competition

Hi Everyone!

I am so excited to have reached 700 likes on Facebook :)
I want to thank each and every one of you for your support of my little business, especially my lovely little family :)

Okay, so, I haven't made a monster in a while, (because I have been way to busy with my little houses)...and I'm missing making them!

Aren't they sweet?!

So...because I'm missing these little guys, you're all going to help me not to miss them quite so much!

To enter the competition all you need to do the following:

1. Ask your kiddies to draw a picture of a monster!
2. Email me a picture of your drawing (to: emma@formylittlemonster.com) or post your little ones picture to my Facebook page wall, and state how old the artist is. REMEMBER to give me your email address - so I can contact you if you win (as I am not allowed to notify you through Facebook as it is against the rules ).
3. Make sure you are a liker of my page (as you will not be eligible to win if you're not one - sorry!)
4. Sit back and relax...your little one's monster picture might be picked to win one of 2 prizes!

• 2nd Prize - I will make your one of a kind monster for $10 + $11.35 registered postage within Australia*

International postage is available, but there is an extra cost.

All monsters will be made with my choice of fabrics/felts to best match your drawing.

* PLUS...If your child's monster becomes part of our regular line of monsters you will receive a gift voucher to use on your next purchase from For My Little Monster

Stay tuned for some helpful and inspirational ideas I will post over the coming weeks too :)
