Hunter loves books about monsters, so we did a fun little unit all about monsters.

We love Mercer Mayer books- so we read “There are Monsters Everywhere,” “There’s a Nightmare in my Closet,” and “There’s Something in my Attic.”

Here are some of the activities we did:

Hailey wanted to make this project with us- first you make some drops of paint on cardstock.

Then fold it in half and press down (wearing your monster pajamas, of course).

Open it up and add some eyes

These are the fun monsters Hailey and Hunter made.

Hunter had a monster snack- he knew right away it was supposed to be Mike from Monsters Inc.

When we read “There are Monsters Everywhere” the little boy in the story learns karate so he can scare the monsters off.  So, Hunter practiced his karate moves.

Hailey tried out her karate moves too.

We made a little monster snack.  Hailey and Hunter put a piece of baking chocolate onto a pretzel.

Then we baked them for a few minutes, until the chocolate started to melt.  When we took them out we added a candy eye, then put them in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardened.

They aren’t very scary looking monsters, but they were yummy.

Hunter practiced his cutting to make spots for a monster craft.

We had so much fun with our monster theme!!  Hunter asked to read the books everyday- they are his favorite books!
