Suggested Items:

- yarn

- foam cut-out shapes

- stickers

- liquid glue

- construction paper

Directions:

- prepare several trays students can share of miscellaneous materials (pipe cleaners not suggested as they are hard to glue onto the paper)

- split students into groups and give a tray per table (this is a LOT easier than trying to hand out supplies to each individual student)

- let students create a monster by gluing materials onto their construction paper

- label the different body parts/describe the monster

- collect projects and set them out to dry
