A Monster Who Swallowed a Fly

I was in charge of Claire's Halloween Party in Kindergarten, so for the craft/activity, we made a monster face, that you can sing, "There was a blue monster who swallowed a fly."

I cut out the face out of that foamy paper stuff and glued it to a stick. I made one of these for each of the kids and then I cut out a bunch of different shapes for hair, eyes, nose, and ears- all in different colors and shapes, so the kids could build their own kind of monster (kinda like mr. potato head). These were all cut out in the sparkly foamy paper, that had a sticky back. So no glue, no drama, no mess- easy-peasy, and it turned out pretty cute. Here is the one Claire made:


And then once everyone made their monsters, we pulled the paper through the mouth to sing the song. The kids liked it and had fun.

What a good idea. The kids probably really like those monsters faces. I love the foamy stuff. It is so easy to work with.

Such a cute idea. Did you come up with this on your own? Why did the creative gene skip me? Seriously?
