This week our theme was Monsters.
Our first art project was making paint monsters by squirting paint on to paper and folding it to make a mirror image then gluing arms or antennas with pipe cleaners and eyeballs.
The children colored pictures of monsters and drew pictures of monsters. The children also used black construction paper and chalk to draw monsters.
We also made monster masks using watercolor paint and paper plates.
We had monster number cards one through 10 to reinforce number recognition.
We had numerous monster finger plays and songs such as "5 Little Monsters" with our monster puppets.
We read several monster books such as Another Monster at the End of This Book by Jon Stone and One Hungry Monster by Susan Heyboer O'Keefe.
We marched around the room stomping like monsters.
I made felt board monsters and the children placed different facial features on each monster and acted out stories with them.
