Create a fun crazy monster with your kiddo
You will need–markers, heavy paper, water color, construction paper, glue and scissor.
Time– You’ll need about 20 minutes, depending on the age of your child.
If mess drives you nuts make sure to put paper under the project and give yourself time to clean up and have a rag handy for accidents.
1. Talk about what kind of monster your kiddo would like to make, shape and extras like horns, or how many arms?
2. Make it big so that lots can be added on. Top of the paper to the bottom.
3. You draw the basic monster with a dark strong marker like a sharpie.
4. Ask questions! What’s next? What kind of horns? How big are the hands?
5. Creating with your child is a bit like a dance. Suggest, try something out, let them object. Talk about the together process. Your opinion matters too!
6. Use your materials to cover the monster with as many details as possible. My daughter kept reminding me it had to look scarey. I was making it too cute apparently. Cover the whole paper till no corner has been left un touched.
7. Hang your creation up! Wether for a day or a week. it is sooo important that you show off the work and give that time together importance.
