Monster Chef Challenge
Turn the kitchen into a cooking show! Have kids dress up like their favorite Monsters University character and host their own “Monster Chef” segment. They can explain the recipe steps, add silly monster names to the ingredients (like “Slime Sauce” for syrup), and present their finished treat to the family judges.
Design Your Own Monster Snack
Encourage kids to get creative by inventing their own monster-themed snack! Give them simple ingredients (fruit, crackers, spreads, candy eyes), and let them build a new “student” for Monsters U. They can name their monster, describe its favorite subject, and draw it on a printable recipe card.
Storytime Snack & Movie Party
After making the recipes, gather for a Monsters University movie night. Kids can bring their monster treats to the “campus lounge” (living room) and enjoy a themed storytelling time—have them make up a short tale about their snack monster’s first day at school or wild dorm room adventure!
