When there is a project ahead that involves lots of small pieces, we use paper plates. This time we had a foam monster magnet kit from Oriental Trading. *Tip: The magnets that come in the foam kits from Oriental Trading usually DO NOT posses the strength required to actually hold the project on the fridge. For this reason, I either keep a better supply of magnets on hand or tape the project to a stick instead, creating a puppet.
These were really cute little monsters. It sparked a conversation about whether or not monsters are real. "Of course not." I replied for the hundredth time. ☺
Glue and stick, glue and stick.. easy squeezy! These kids actually followed the picture of the project very well. When making monsters, it can be especially fun to mix the pieces up a bit.
Ta-da! When the monsters were dry, we added a popsicle stick to the back of them.
For the younger kiddos, a paper to color! I learned the hard way (isn't it funny how quickly we forget the eating habits of little ones just because our own kids have grown out of this stage?) that the little ones can only manage one crayon at a time. They need to be handed one crayon and then watched constantly to ensure that it doesn't become a snack. ♥ Happy Thursday!♥♥♥
