Parent FAQ

How do I set up the painting area?

Cover the table with newspaper or a washable mat. Pour small amounts of paint onto a paper plate and have a cup of water and paper towels ready. Let your child wear an apron or old T-shirt.

How do I help my child get started?

Watch the My Scary Silly Monster Sample Tutorial together first. Then ask your child what color their monster's body should be and let them choose. Offer encouragement but let them make the creative decisions.

How do I handle paint spills?

Keep a damp cloth nearby for quick cleanups. If paint gets on clothes, rinse with cold water immediately, then treat with a stain remover before washing. The paints are washable, so most accidents come out easily. Test a hidden area of the fabric first if you are unsure.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Thin layers dry in about 15-20 minutes. Thicker blobs may take up to an hour. Place the finished monster on a flat surface away from drafts. To speed up, use a hairdryer on a low, cool setting held at least 12 inches away.

What can I do with the finished monster?

Display it on a shelf, fridge, or in a frame. You can also punch a hole in the top and hang it with string. Let your child name their monster and tell you a story about it to extend the fun. Taking a photo of the monster with your child makes a great keepsake.
