Love Monster Craft & Writing Freebies

February 7, 2018

Can you imagine living in a world where no one loves you and you feel all alone? That’s how Love Monster feels! This story written by Rachel Bright takes us on Love Monster’s journey as he finds love when he least expects it. Today I’m sharing how to make this Love Monster craft and writing activity that you can use after reading this story.

After reading Love Monster by Rachel Bright, students can create their own love monsters with this free craft. You can choose between three different writing options.


LOVE MONSTER CRAFT DIRECTIONS

First, you’ll need to print and cut out all of the templates. Using a black marker or crayon, students will add a variety of lines all around, while avoiding the area just above the mouth.

The lines should be short strokes and can be placed at different angles to create a hairy looking monster like the illustrations in the story.

Have students glue the eyes down just below the top edge of the body and above the mouth. Students can use black marker or crayon to add the eyeballs.

Next, students will glue the teeth in place along the monster’s mouth line. I added some teeth templates, but students can also create their own teeth by cutting small white triangles. The illustrations in the story include heavy black outlines, so after gluing things in place, students can use their marker or crayon to outline the eyes, teeth, and heart.

Students can complete one of the three writing prompts. Then students can glue the paper down near the bottom of the body and glue the hands in place so Love Monster is holding the writing piece.

My favorite library find this week takes an up clo My favorite library find this week takes an up close look at the epic journey of a Pacific salmon.

If you live in the PNW, the 4th grade students probably study the salmon life cycle at some point during the year. If they’re lucky, they even get to help care for some of the eggs for months at their school before releasing the salmon fry into a local creek. I know I got to do this when I taught 4th grade, and my own kids did, too!

This book combines beautiful illustrations with inviting & informative text that captures each unique stage of the Coho salmon. The back matter provides additional information about the life cycle stages. It would be a fantastic addition to your salmon or life cycles unit!

➡️ Swipe to take a peek inside!

💛 LIBRARY STACK 💛 Thought I’d stop and take a mom 💛 LIBRARY STACK 💛

Thought I’d stop and take a moment to admire my current checkouts from the local library, especially since I was recently reminded that February is National Library Lovers’ Month. 

Do I often get strange looks and questions when another patron sees me with a large stack of picture books at the self-checkout desk? Yes, but that hasn’t stopped me! 

Which titles from this stack would you reach for first?

A princess who is intelligent, has a kind & gentle A princess who is intelligent, has a kind & gentle heart, and one who stays true to herself? Yes, please!

Set in the mountains of Joseon, we meet Jeongsoon. She has a heart of jade, and wants to become princess so she can help the hungry children in her village. 

It isn’t long before she enters the Princess Challenge and faces three tests: Manners, Wisdom, and the Sleep Test.

While Jeongsoon is far from perfect, she stays true to herself and wins the favor of the queen. 

This story adds a fresh perspective on the classic tale of The Princess and the Pea. My favorite part was the Sleep Test twist! I love that the backmatter includes information about the real-life Queen Jeongsoon of South Korea.

A big thank you to the publisher for sharing this new picture book with my family!

My favorite library find this week combines friend My favorite library find this week combines friendship and adventure with a story about how paper is made.

Under a tree, a boy with a book and girl with a paper plane meet and play over the course of a wonderful day. Then they are parted - perhaps never to meet again. 

Soon their tree is felled and starts a new journey to become paper to make hundreds of different things...including a book for a girl and a notepad for a boy. 

Can a new paper plane find its way to reunite the friends again?

⭐️ Not only would this story be a great addition to your friendship collection, but you might want to check it out before Earth Day since it also explains how paper is made.

As teachers and parents, we want our kids to be ki As teachers and parents, we want our kids to be kind to others. Through books, we can show students how to see the good in others, how to be there for other people, how to help others feel included, how to be kind even when it is hard, and how spreading kindness can come back around.

In other words, books can help us send the message that kindness is important and something we value. 

🩷 What are your favorite kindness books for kids?
