Monster Craft and Writing

I just love the book Go Away Big Green Monster!  Fun and colorful!

I discovered a quick little YouTube video on this book.   If you click on the book above it will take you there.  Check it out!

 It is a great book to go teach colors with students.  Kids love the cut outs on the pages too.  Then I discovered another Monster book, Glad Monster, Sad Monster.

Glad Monster, Sad Monster teaches students about more colors, but teaches them about feelings too.  It also has monster masks that can be taken out of the book and used by the students.

These fun books inspired me to create a craft and writing to go along with these books.  I love to build projects around great books.

 What a fun way to brighten up  a classroom with a bunch of colorful monsters hanging around on your walls!  Click here to be taken to my store.

    I've never seen this book either. I watched the YouTube video and it is cute. While I was on YouTube, I saw the idea of using felt pieces to tell the story. I think I will make some and let the kids retell the story. Thanks for bringing this book to my attention!

    Also wanted to share a great link to these books that might add some fun to your teachings. It is all free to and who doesn't like that. I also forgot about the 6th book in the series "There Was An Old Monster!" It is too funny. Here is the link to some wonderful printables and then some. http://www.makinglearningfun.com/themepages/Monsters.htm

    If you like these books then you must get the others also. "Bye-Bye, Big Bad Bullybug", Nighty Night, Little Green Monster" and "If You're A Monster And You Know It". Thank you for sharing your awesome teachings with us.
