Monster Stompers Activities, Games, Crafts Food & FREEBIE!



I do not know what the attraction is but children LOVE monsters. When I was a child the "Big Daddy Roth" monsters were a SMASH hit! Why even "The Beav" had to have one of those monsters! 


If you want to see what happens in this episode, you can purchase it from eBay here: 



Leave It To Beaver Season 5





If you are into Big Daddy Roth, here is a site featuring a good amount of merchandise:


Pintrest also has a Big Daddy Roth Monster board:


So of course my babes want to get into the monster act! We watched The 3 Monsters on our Show N Tell:


You can get this Show N Tell for your babes from eBay:

Then we watched our "What's Under My Bed" filmstrip:


You can try and find the film strip like ours from eBay:
We sang a Monster Song:

Monster in the Bathroom

We read our FAV Giant book:

The Giant's Shoe

 

We made some Frankie shoes from kleenex boxes after we read our book:




We did some "M is for Monster" printing:







Next, we played some Monster Games. We did Monster Roll N Graph from the 3 Dinosaurs Monster Pack:

For our next monster game, we made a monster out of a box placing his mouth low to the ground for ease and fed him (plastic) apples...the pictures are a bit blurry but you can get the idea:






 SCORE!!!


We made some Monster faces from various materials and styrofoam meat trays:





Turned out pretty good, eh?

 We also made Monster Ghouls from paper bags and face parts cut out from magazines:








Then we made Monster Stompers. These stompers lasted for years! Made from large coffee cans & foam sheets, each child chose the monster they wanted. Sierra chose Monster Toes while Julian chose Frankie:


 
My babes went stomping here, stomping there, they went stomping everywhere. Up and down, all around they stomped on the ground. Where their monster's would take them, I did not know but they were most certainly on the go. And when their stomping feet did stop, down they sat with a plop!




If you would like to make these Monster stompers, you can get some foam sheets on eBay:

Foam Craft Sheets 


For lunch we ate Monster Toes:

and tongues:

 Some monster hands:





You can find all kinds of cookie cutter hands to make these hand sandwiches just like ours from eBay:

and we drank bloody drinks:



 We used red cake icing gel for the blood. You can choose from a variety on eBay:

Then we topped it off with our Monster Cup Cakes:


SA-WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!
