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.

 

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.After reading Love Monster by Rachel Bright, students can create their own love monsters with this free craft.

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.After reading Love Monster by Rachel Bright, students can create their own love monsters with this free craft.

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.

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.After reading Love Monster by Rachel Bright, students can create their own love monsters with this free craft.

      Hi Nina,
      This printable is still available. After you enter your name and email address, check your email for a message from me (sometimes this goes to your Spam/Junk/Promotions folder). Once you confirm, the Love Monster activity should pop up in a new window for you to download.

      Hi Jen,
      I just checked with my email provider and it looks like an email was sent your way to confirm your subscription shortly after you signed up (sometimes it takes a few minutes). If you’re not seeing that email in any of your folders (inbox, spam, junk, promotions, etc.), let me know and I can try to send it again.

      Hi Melanie,
      It looks like an email was sent, but not opened. If you are using a school email address, it’s possible that the email may have been blocked by your district’s spam filter.

Mabel’s family just gave her the best news ever Mabel’s family just gave her the best news ever - she gets to choose the new family pet! She selects an elephant! 🐘 Mabel is thrilled that her new pet gives big hugs, the best rides, and even has a built-in slide. But when the elephant tramples through the garden and sits on her mom, Mom says, “NOT THAT PET! Choose something SMALLER!” That’s when Mabel chooses ants. 🐜🐜🐜⁣
⁣
It isn’t long before the ants cause problems for another family member and Mabel is left to swap them out for something new. However, with each new pet comes new problems. The animals are too smelly🦨, too scary🕷, too wriggly🪱, and even too prickly🦔. That’s when Mabel comes up with an idea for the PERFECT pet. Will her family agree? The ending might just surprise you!⁣

What kind of animal would make you say, “NOT THAT PET!”?⁣

We’ve been reading this book every night for day We’ve been reading this book every night for days, so I wanted to give this one a more permanent spot here on my page. ⁣
⁣
The main character of this book is Rosie (aka Little Red Riding Hood). Her story begins as she sets off to deliver a cake to her grandma. Along the way she faces choices that might lead her to Hansel and Gretel, The Three Little Pigs, Sleeping Beauty, and even Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.⁣

Do your kids prefer to read more traditional or fractured fairy tales?⁣

Squish or Save?⁣ ⁣ That’s what the reader mu Squish or Save?⁣
⁣
That’s what the reader must decide after reading Hey, Little Ant. This is one of my all-time favorite books to use for persuasive writing. After reading, kids use text evidence and write whether they want to squish the ant or save it. Then, they top off their writing with a fun kid craft.⁣
