The children had a wonderful morning surrounded by happy monsters. We enjoyed a host of games focused on sorting by color, fine motor skills, counting, and early literacy. We made some one of a kind monsters and created some pretty funny faces with play dough.
Our art lesson incorporated some geometry. The boys and girls were given a sheet of paper to squeeze some brightly colored paint on. Once they were ready we folded the paper in half and squeezed the paint between the two halves. The children, then pealed the halves apart to reveal a beautifully symmetrical "monster". Each was given several wiggly eyes to decorate with. These were simple and yet quite beautiful. I loved how amazed the children were when they opened their paper to reveal a masterpiece.

We finished our day with some play dough fun. We made our own play dough monsters. They had such silly faces all with the help of a few Mr. Potato Head pieces. So much fun!
