Wow, I was blown away by the creativity of the kids who entered my Halloween Skype monster contest! I asked them to draw the monster they’d like to purchase at The Monstore, and they came through with some very useful companions, just right for doing tricky things around the house. In fact, I’d like to borrow all of them!
It was tough to pick just five finalists, as I received nearly 200 entries! But here they are, in no particular order.
Please leave a comment voting for your favorite entry #. The monster with the most votes will win a Skype classroom visit with me on Halloween!
.
MONSTER #1
REPRESENTING MS. ROSENBERG’S 2nd GRADE CLASS
MS. GO EYES by JULIA B.!
I like how Ms. Go Eyes can dance with Julia whenever she pleases, plus this monster can reach high to get the most coveted snacks in the cabinet. Of course, Ms. Go Eyes loves THE MONSTORE book, too! Congratulations, Julia!
.
MONSTER #2
REPRESENTING MS. MELLIN’S 2nd GRADE CLASS
TRASH MONSTER by SIERRA V.!
Well, Trash Monster can certainly find a welcomed place in my home. I like how neat and environmentally conscientious he is. And he’s so brightly colored, he’ll fit right in with my decor. Congratulations, Sierra!
.
MONSTER #3
REPRESENTING MS. MACCRI’S 2nd GRADE CLASS
BULLEYE by NATHAN H.!
Considering that October is National Bullying Prevention Month, I think everyone could use a friend like Bulleye right now. He’s so fierce-looking, he just has to stand there and bullies will steer clear. Congratulations, Nathan!
.
MONSTER #4
REPRESENTING MS. ABATE’S 1st GRADE CLASS
SPARKLES by KATIE F.!
As Sparkles is already aware, we could all use a little more sparkle in our lives. Everything she touches glitters and shines. What a happy-making monster! Congratulations, Katie!
.
MONSTER #5
REPRESENTING MS. BROWN’S 1st GRADE CLASS
DAGA BY DOANH!
Ms. Brown’s class got very creative and used shapes to create their monsters. They even counted up all the shapes. I’m impressed! This monster’s needed in my house because my daughter does not like to eat meat. It merely touches her tongue and she spits it out. What’s a mom to do? Maybe she will follow Daga’s example. Congratulations, Doanh! (And wow, what neat handwriting!)
.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Skype monster contest. It was so difficult to choose the finalists because all the creations were terrific. I’m sincerely blown away by the creativity expressed in this exercise!
Kindly comment below with your # monster choice by SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27th and I will announce the winner on the 28th!
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE! I HOPE TO SEE YOU ON HALLOWEEN!

What a difficult choice! Maybe you’ll have to come up with a sequel, Tara, and include them all. I vote for #3, Bulleye. Everyone could use a bigger, stronger monster. 🙂

Sparkle101
I think number 4, sparkles because it’s cute and very creative. I would buy this monster at the store because she would make me more happy. Katie has a big imagination to think of something like this!
October 24, 2013 at 7:06 pm
phanclub
I vote for #4 because it was creative to make a non-scary monster.
Beautiful work Katie!
October 24, 2013 at 7:12 pm

I like number 4, sparkles, because it’s cute and creative. I would buy this at the store because it will make me more happy!:) I think Katie has a big imagination for thinking of this.

I vote for number 4 because it is super cute!

#4 sparkles because it sparkles.
October 24, 2013 at 7:41 pm
Abby
Number 4! 😀 so cute!
October 25, 2013 at 6:07 am
Doug Kennedy
I think #4, Sparkles, is AWESOME! It is creative and nicely drawn! Everyone needs some light or sparkles in their life. Great work Katie!!!!!!
October 26, 2013 at 11:43 am
Kim Sarnese
Great job Katie. It’s so refreshing to see a positive fun monster
October 25, 2013 at 8:46 pm
Gail
I pick monster # 4. I’d like this monster to visit my house and make it sparkle!
October 26, 2013 at 11:59 am
Alex
#4Katie. Great job!
October 25, 2013 at 9:14 pm
Marlene Vitullo
I love all the monsters!! But I can only vote for one monster so I will vote for #2 because he is a neat monster and also kind if cute. Good job Sierra!!
October 23, 2013 at 9:37 am
betsydevany
Thanks for sharing these, Tara!
Children’s artwork is the best. And your wonderful picture book inspired these children to create these fabulously fun monsters. Clearly, they enjoyed the challenge. A winning combination for all.
October 23, 2013 at 9:38 am
Mary Uhles
I have to say Monster #3 is my favorite. Go Bulleye!
October 23, 2013 at 9:39 am
betsydevany
# 2 gets my vote, though it was close, close, close. All so good!
October 23, 2013 at 9:44 am
joannesher
DEFINITELY a touch choice, but I have to choose #2. Especially if I can have him come over to my house when he’s done at yours :D. LOVE super-creative kids!
October 23, 2013 at 9:48 am
Julie
Wow – these are all outstanding! I think you should do a 1st, 2nd, 3rd and two honorable mentions so that they all can be included.
I think I’d have to go with Bulleye myself. So touching!
October 23, 2013 at 9:51 am
Tara Lazar
Yep, there will have to be multiple awards!
October 23, 2013 at 9:50 am
carolmunrojww
Tara, don’t you know you can’t borrow these monsters, as I’m sure the artists will open their own Monstores. You’ll have to buy them — and no returns. 😉
All of these are great, but I’d pick the high one who can reach the munchies. #1.
P.S. I don’t blame you’re daughter. I have been known to spit when meat touches my tongue, too. I remember my youngest had to be taught to like eating meat. I took a lesson from that and now I’m a vegetarian. Alas, he’s not. I taught him well.
October 23, 2013 at 9:52 am
Tara Lazar
She fancies herself a vegetarian, too. Except for bacon. She’s a bacontarian.
October 23, 2013 at 9:51 am
carolmunrojww
O.K. Just for the record. I know the difference between you’re and your.
October 23, 2013 at 9:53 am
Tara Lazar
Tee hee! I know you do! Typos in blog comments are always excused.
October 23, 2013 at 9:53 am
Lynn
Tara, what a wonderful contest! I really like the idea of sparkles (monster #4) but I choose monster #3, Bulleye. The fact this child created a monster to protect her and others from bullies says a lot! In fact, I would have loved to have one myself.
October 23, 2013 at 11:11 am
Lynn
oops! Sorry, it was a girl who created the sparkle monster and a boy who created the bulleye monster. I like that. 🙂 Still voting for #3.
October 23, 2013 at 10:07 am
Akoss
Monster #3 wins my vote because I could have used a monster like that many years ago if I had the ability to create one.
I’m in awe with all the creativity shown here. ❤
October 23, 2013 at 10:07 am
laurimeyers
Well, thank you Katie for having the common sense to draw a sparkle monster which is the only thing saving me from nightmares caused by the rest of those very SCARY monsters! great work everyone.
October 23, 2013 at 10:09 am
Sue Poduska
Oh, my! How did you ever narrow it down? Seems so simple. Ask for entries. Pick five. NOT!! I have to say Bulleye (#3) also.
October 23, 2013 at 10:19 am
Janet Slingerland
I have to vote for #3 (Bulleye) – not only a great idea, but it was my son who came up with it. Way to go, Nathan!
October 23, 2013 at 10:23 am
AJ Smith
#5 Daga all the way!
October 23, 2013 at 10:29 am
cheryllovestoread
I vote for Dago. Love the use of reading, writing, arithmetic, and geometry all in one fun assignment… and for 1st graders! Kudos to Ms. Brown for that kind of planning. Great job Doanh!
October 23, 2013 at 10:30 am
Marianne Knowles
We only get to choose ONE? That’s tough.They’re all great, but #4, Sparkles is the one I’d buy in the MONSTORE–assuming that she can make people sparkle on the inside, too. I need a little sparkle with the days getting shorter, this time of year!
October 23, 2013 at 10:44 am
Kathy
I love them all, so it’s hard to choose one favorite. But I’m going to vote for Bulleye. I’m sure lots of people would like to have him!
October 23, 2013 at 10:46 am
laura516
Thanks, Tara, for using your blog to highlight creative kids! I scrolled up and down again and again. What a difficult choice! After much hemming and hawing, I will cast my vote for Trash Monster!
October 23, 2013 at 10:48 am
Shannon Abercrombie
Love this. I’m partial to #2, we all need a help picking up from time to time!
October 23, 2013 at 10:48 am
Susanna Leonard Hill
Wow! What a tough choice! I am severely torn between 2, 3, and 4… But I think in the end I have to go with #3 because kids need protection from bullies and I like Nathan’s sentiment in wanting to provide protection. Great job everyone, though! Such creative and well-drawn monsters!
October 23, 2013 at 10:51 am
Alexa Kaufhold
I vote trash monster!
October 23, 2013 at 11:12 am
Julie Segal Walters
Tough choice! It’s between #2 and #5 for me. I love the trash monster but I’m excited by the “outside the box” art work of #5. Kind of feeling today like we should reward teachers/schools that help their kids take their enrichment a step farther. I vote #5.
October 23, 2013 at 11:13 am
Wendi Silvano
They are all wonderful, but I choose #3. He is a “scary” monster and I love that he protects you from bullies!
October 23, 2013 at 11:16 am
Susan Halko
I love this! Bless Katie F.’s little first-grade heart. Go Sparkles!
October 23, 2013 at 11:20 am
Erika Crowl (@erikacrowl)
So many great monsters! I vote for #4 by Katie F. I love the idea of a monster adding more sparkle to the world.
October 23, 2013 at 11:26 am

They are all amazing! My pick would be for Monster #2. I love Sierra’s trash monster idea! Great work to all of the artists.

I’m voting for #2 – great vibrant picture and I like the environmental message.
October 23, 2013 at 11:32 am
Nina Vitullo
I love # 2! What a creative idea and great for the environment.
Great job Sierra!!
October 23, 2013 at 11:37 am
Michelle Heidenrich Barnes
This is too hard! But I guess my vote will go to #1 since, as a little girl, I too could have used a dance partner and someone to reach the cookies. (I also love the fashionable outfit.)
October 23, 2013 at 11:40 am
Jackie Wellington
Definitely number 3 for me. I hope that teacher is conversing with Nathan about his creation. I hope this is not a subliminal message Nathan is sending out. I loved all the entries, but this one stole my heart. Great contest idea.
October 23, 2013 at 11:42 am

Too hard to choose.
#3 – Bulleye
October 23, 2013 at 12:47 pm
Karen Garbarino
They are all very creative, but I have to choose number 3 – Bulleye. Love that he protects from bullies, and he is my nephew!
October 23, 2013 at 12:50 pm
Sharon K Mayhew
So hard! They are all wonderful. What creative kids! When push came to shove, I chose #2 Trash Monster as my favorite. I love how he looks and that he does a good deed. 🙂

cherylsec
Wow, they’re all terrific. Tough choice! I think I’ll go with #2-Trash Monster. I had a tough time deciding between that one and #4-Sparkles.
October 23, 2013 at 1:05 pm
cherylsec
They’re all terrific. Tough choice! I think I’ll go with #2-Trash Monster. How fun!
October 23, 2013 at 1:07 pm
teresamis
I love them all! Each so helpful. I vote for Bulleye–he will keep all the other monsters safe to dance with, get us treats, pick up trash, roar, and of course make everything sparkle. Thanks kids and thanks Tara.
October 23, 2013 at 1:13 pm
Dee
These are all so cute! I vote for #2 because I love the environmental tie-in. 🙂

I Love Trash!!
It’s got to be #2.
October 23, 2013 at 2:22 pm
Hannah Holt
I love them all, but I’m going with #1 because the power of dancing and snacks should never be underestimated.
October 23, 2013 at 2:25 pm
Joanne Roberts
They can all come home with me, but I vote for #2. Thanks, Sierra. We REALLY need a trash monster in our house.
October 23, 2013 at 2:26 pm
Romelle Broas
Great choices, but my vote goes to #2! I need the trash monster to follow my kids around.
October 23, 2013 at 2:27 pm

Monster # 2, the Trash Monster is a great drawing and environmentally clean!! Great job, Sierra!
October 23, 2013 at 2:28 pm
Diane Kress Hower
How wonderful and no surprise at your number of entries Tara! They all are wonderful but I can not help but love a Monster in heels and saying this is a good book! My vote is for #1!
October 23, 2013 at 2:29 pm
aneducationinbooks
I’d have to say Monster #4–everything sparkling is truly a horror, almost Stepford-wifey.
October 23, 2013 at 2:33 pm
Meg Miller
I vote for #1 Ms. GoEyes. Nice job on the coloring! 😀
October 23, 2013 at 2:45 pm

October 23, 2013 at 4:11 pm

I like the artwork and coloring on number 2. But I love the idea of a trash monster! Could we have an entire army of trash monsters? Way to go, Sierra!!
October 23, 2013 at 4:45 pm

Monster #2 is cute and creative and will help clean the environment. Trash Monster is my favorite.
October 23, 2013 at 4:53 pm

#1 because the dancing robot also likes to read. She’s recommending a book. 🙂

Hi Tara,
I am voting for the Trash Monster. He’s possibly the best monster to be able to not only put the trash in the bin and out for collection, but he could put the Bully in the trash as well.
October 23, 2013 at 6:00 pm
Allison Laws
Way to go #5. I like the way shapes were incorporated into the project
October 23, 2013 at 6:14 pm

My vote is for Monster #3. Very impressive artwork and message from 2nd grader Nathan. Well done!

This is hard. But I think I pick #2.

These are all fantastic monsters. I vote for Bulleye. He would surely get those bullies to deal with the rubbish.

I thought Doanh’s monster, Daga was very creative. #5
Also the writing is excellent. They were all very well thought out.
October 23, 2013 at 9:26 pm
Mr. White
# 5, Very artsy with the shapes. Wish I could write that neat!
October 23, 2013 at 9:32 pm
viviankirkfield
Not fair, Tara! It must have been impossible to pick only 5…and all five of these are terrific. I love doing story and craft programs in the schools because the kids really respond when you encourage their creativity!
I’ll vote for #1…that is one of the most elegant monsters I have every seen.:)
October 23, 2013 at 9:36 pm
Danai
Bullseye (#3/Nathan) gets my vote! He is a much needed monster! Such a creative idea.
October 23, 2013 at 10:01 pm
Pia Garneau
#2 Trash monster is my vote.
October 23, 2013 at 10:07 pm

If you’re going for art alone, I’d say #2. If you’re going by most meaningful, I’d say #3, Bulleye. Great contest!
October 23, 2013 at 10:17 pm

October 24, 2013 at 7:28 am

I love scary monsters made out of shapes because you can take them apart and make a new monster. I vote for #5 Daga the monster!
October 24, 2013 at 9:29 pm

I vote for Monster 2. Besides it looking like an awesome monster, It would be wonderful to have a monster that would follow people around and clean up after those that are not as mindful! How great for our planet! Such talent and creativity of all the contestants.
