Create-a-Monster is back!

By Ava Skipworth

Monster Yogurt is bringing back its annual Create-A-Monster campaign for the entire month of October, from October 1-31. Children are invited to celebrate creativity while supporting Dallas Art Therapy and its work in the community.

Throughout the campaign, young artists for $1 will be encouraged to create their own original monster artwork with supplies provided by Monster Yogurt at checkout. The event turns a fun family activity into a meaningful way to raise awareness and financial support for art therapy.

The community raised enough money last year through Create-A-Monster to help Dallas Art Therapy purchase much-needed chairs and additional supplies. Those practical resources help create welcoming, functional spaces where participants can safely engage in therapeutic artmaking.

Dallas Art Therapy expands access to mental health support through both clinical and community-based art therapy. Its work includes free groups and community events, using the creative process to support mental health and stronger, thriving communities. The organization is committed to making that support inclusive and accessible regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, ability or background.

Moms Out Marketing will join Monster Yogurt to help promote the campaign, participate in community events and offer special craft activities. As another Mom Approved business, the organization will help more local families learn about Create-A-Monster and take part.

Founded in Dallas, Monster Yogurt is a family-friendly frozen yogurt and dessert business known for its indoor playground, community partnerships and programs that give children opportunities to learn, create and belong. For more information, visit scarytastesgood.com.
