When I was 12 and my little brother was 3, monsters entered our home. You know, the monsters with one eye, a snaggle tooth and wiry hair. The kind that hide in children’s closets and under their beds. Yea. That type. So being the older sister that needed to protect her little brother at all costs, I emptied out my Suave hairspray bottle, wrapped a piece of paper around it, wrote “Monster Be Gone” and added some water to the bottle – instant DIY Monster Spray. I told him just two squirts would help to keep the Monsters away.
Well, now I’m 28 and it’s my son that is 3… and Monster Teddy Bears have taken over our home. Fortunately my Monster Be Gone has matured a little since I have grown. Here is the result:
I did use a Suave bottle, but it was my daughters detangler spray bottle this time around. I added water and a little lavender oil (which is perfect for relaxation). We do two squirts each night before bed. He thinks it’s fun to spray it up into the fan and watch it blow away AND he loves the smell. I don’t know how much he thinks it repels those Monsters, but it is a feel good thing for him. He enjoys doing it and it is routine now so adds to the stability of his environment, making him feel safe.For all of you that have a monster invasion, download the Blue Monster Spray Label.
Do you have a little girl being harassed by the big and scary monsters, but doesn’t want anything blue in her room?

Awe, monsters are NO fun {although the idea is way cute!}. I will keep this handy for my 3 almost 4 year old…just in case.
Happy Birthday!
May all your monsters be little ones.
what a cute idea! i hope i remember this when i have a little kid scared of monsters. it’s bound to happen sometime, right?
Kim thanks so much for the girly version! It’s so cute. I think I’m going to make them up for stocking stuffers!
this is so cute!!!!
I love this. My son isn’t scared of monsters…he is just starting to be cautious of the dark…maybe I can manipulate this spray to encompass this new fear. Thanks for sharing this GREAT idea!!
This is great–I used to use “monster be gone spray” too, but never had a label!
