Remember when you were a kid and you’d get scared there were monsters hiding under your bed or in your closet? Those creative folks at Pixar solved that problem for a lot of Moms and Dads when they introduced kids to “Monsters Inc. ” Now this summer, your favorite characters Mike Wazowski, Sulley, and friends are returning to the big screen, where we’ll learn how they met and became friends in “Monsters University.”

We know getting ready for school requires a lot of preparation so we’ve rounded up some ideas for you to throw a scary good Monsters Inc. inspired party.

All school lunches should be colorful, like these Monster’s Inc. bento boxes!
