Hello!

 

Here is our monster description.  We have named her “Crystal Monster”.  We are excited to see how your version turns out!

 

 

 

1.      Wrap a shoe box with hot pink construction paper.

 

2.      Make a face:  cut out a gray circle of construction paper

 

Use orange crayon to draw small eyes and nose on the gray circle

 

Cut out a black smiling mouth, glue to the gray circle

 

Glue gray circle onto a paper plate and fasten the plate to one short end of the shoe box

 

3.      Make hair from verigated yarn.  Two long pony tails and short bangs in the middle.

 

4.      Roll construction paper to make tubes for legs and arms.  Use blue for legs and brown for arms.

 

5.      Use two green balloons to make feet and attach to the bottom of the blue tubes.  Cut toes from light pink paper, color red toenails and tape onto the balloons.

 

6.      Trace the teacher’s hands on green construction paper and attach to the brown arm tubes.

 

7.      Attach arms and legs to the shoe box in the expected places.

 

8.  Make wings by tracing student hands on various colors of construction paper, cut them out and attach to large black papers which have been cut in a curve on the top.  Attach the wings to the back of the shoe box body.

 

 

 

That’s all!  Good luck!
