Monster Gallery & Spooky Story Contest

Design your silliest or friendliest monster and tell us its story.

Not another costume contest. This one is about the monster your kid invented — and the narration that makes it unforgettable.

100% Private: Your voice recordings & art belongs strictly to you.

An animated kid's doodle of a friendly monster, titled “Any monster”, with a playable voice note captioned “He eats sockets!”
The prompt

Design your silliest or friendliest monster and tell us its story.

“His name is Bob and he eats broccoli so you don’t have to.” That is the whole assignment — any length, in your kid’s own voice.

How to enter

Three steps, one evening at the kitchen table. Paper monsters welcome.

  1. 1

    Draw or craft a monster

    Markers, collage, playdough, a cereal box with googly eyes. Anything the child made themselves counts.

  2. 2

    Digitize it and record the story

    Snap the monster in Kids Create, then record a short voiceover: what it's called and what it does.

    Any lengthKid's own voice
