Get the big "Go Away Big Green Monster" by Ed Embereley. it's a FABULOUS book and you can make masks that are silly to go with, as well as a flannel board story. Then there are other books:

"There Was an Old Monster"
"Glad Monster, Sad Monster"

Give them mirrors and have them make silly monster faces. Let them paint their faces green. Let em' go on a monster hunt, and hide silly monster mask faces for them to find - give em' flashlights and have them look under stuff.

This will all help them realize that monsters are PRETEND and they will learn to not have the fear of monsters.

I did these things at halloween when my two year olds were starting to express a fear because they were seeing all of the scarey costumes....it REALLY helped!
