The Monster's Monster by Patric McDonnell |
Mostly Monsterly by Tammi Sauer |
After Halftime, we settled back down with a flannel board/finger play!
5 Little Monsters sleeping in my bed.
One crawled out from under the spread.
I called out to mama and my mama said:
'No more monsters sleeping in your bed!'
Continue with 4,3,2,1 and
No more monsters sleeping in my bed
None crawled out from under the spread
I called out to mama and my mama said:
"No more monsters, now go to bed!"

There Was an Old Monster by Rebecca and Ed Emberly |
The Baby That Roared by Simon Puttock |
And as a bonus and to close our session, we used Rebecca Emberly's book 'If You're a Monster and You Know It' as a fun movement song. I made sure to have plenty of copies on hand to go home with the kids, but we just sang and danced this song A-Capella.
And now for my craft! Inspired by this blog called Alphamom, but using card stock instead of foam, I cut a pair of 'feet' for the kids to decorate with yarn (for hairy feet), markers and jewels (for a pedi). They can be worn over the shoes or socks as monster feet!! I used one card per foot for my demonstration, but for the kids I was able to use one card for both feet.
This was the biggest hit with all of the kids! Make sure to have extra on hand. The moms are sure to want extras for their kids at home. I was cleaned out!
Thanks for stopping by! Monster Theme was a big hit with the kids because they learned that monsters didn't have to be scary - sometimes they were silly and fun!
