• Night Check Patrol: In the story, bedtime is a full operation — teeth, pajamas, settling the chaos of many different monsters. Pretend you’re Head of Night Patrol. Walk through your bedroom with a clipboard and list 3 things that need to be “secured for the night.” (Example: “All crayons capped,” “Lego trap cleared,” “Snacks moved away from ooze.”)
• Gross-​but-​Sweet Poetry: The book uses bouncy rhyme to tuck a monster in with love and patience. Try writing a 4‑line bedtime rhyme to a creature of your choice.
  Example:
  “My little swamp goblin, it’s time to lie down.
  Wipe off the grave dirt, remove your frown…”
  
  Challenge yourself to mix gross details and actual tenderness, the way Mummy Blob does.
• Create Your Own Disgusting Blob: Fold a blank page in half. On the left, draw your blob during the day (chaotic, sticky, maybe throwing slime). On the right, draw the same blob at bedtime (pajamas, story time, tucked into a “lovely damp” pillow). Add labels like “bed goo,” “eyestalk warmer,” “charging cable,” etc.
• Make a Monster Bedtime Chart: Draw a list of nighttime steps for a new monster: brushing fangs, folding wings, feeding pets, etc. Add silly drawings and sound effects for each step.
• Monster Room Design: Imagine what the Blob’s bedroom looks like. Sketch or collage it. What’s on the walls? What’s under the bed? What counts as “cozy” in a monster world?
