Monsters at Circle

The kids went crazy for monsters! They wanted monster everything! It all started with this book;

Go away and don't come back till I say so!

                                           

The kids were allover this book. I have read it hundreds of times! So I went searching for more monster things. I found this . . .

It is a Make Your Own Monster puppet from Melissa and Doug. It has a bunch of different pieces that you Velcro on to make a different monster every time.

 

I use this at circle and have the kids take turns coming up and adding the pieces to the monster. I follow the same layout as the book. As each kids adds a piece I say "has two green arms or two orange eyes" depending on what they add.It gets a little wacky but it is fun!

  Then I went on this site and got a whole package of monster stuff!  Here are a couple activities I got from there . . .

Monster Shape Lunch

Five little monsters and monsters in my bed

She has some great songs to go along with these as well.

 Next I made these . . .

I made these monster puppets out of stuff I found in the dollar store. They ended up being tickle monsters and the blue was was great for cleaning the chalkboard.
Then I found this at the Calender Club store. It was supposed to be for the bathtub but it worked just fine on the table.  

So that is all the monster stuff I have for right now. But, I am sure that they next time the kids get into the monsters I will need to come up with some new stuff!
