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.

The heart should be glued down below the mouth and to the right side of the body.

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.

🎶 On the first day of Christmas…🎵 These are not y 🎶 On the first day of Christmas…🎵

These are not your typical advent calendars! Each of these books features a new chapter of the story to read every day as we count down the days to Christmas.

And it’s not too late to add these to your cart. I’m pretty sure you won’t go on the naughty list if you have to read a couple of chapters a day to catch up! 😉 

🧑‍🎄 The Christmas Contest 
@simonkids 
Santa notices that there are too many kids on the nice list. He  worries he won’t be able to deliver all of the presents by himself. He decides to find a new apprentice by holding a contest featuring sledding, a reindeer rodeo, and Yule log eating! But who will win?

🎄Jingle All the Way Home
@clarionbooks @harperkids 
When Chris discovers a puppy wedged in his family’s chimney on Christmas morning, he knows exactly how it got there because the dog tells him. Jingle stowed away in Santa’s sleigh, got left behind accidentally, and he can talk! Can Chris, his big sister, Holly, and her best friend, Ivy, find a way to help Jingle return to the North Pole?

A big thank you to the publishers for sharing these books with my family!

If you could build the perfect town, what would it If you could build the perfect town, what would it look like?

🌳 Would it include spectacular trees with walkways that rise high above the ground?

🦒 Would you add an open-air zoo with well-behaved animals, including Jurassic and mythical creatures? 

🤖 Would there be robots running the grocery store where all items are free? 

📚 Would your library be filled with cozy nooks and stacks of books, where no one tells you what you can and can’t read?

Those are just some of the ideas Jack shares with Mayor McKay in Chris Van Dusen’s latest book, If I Built a Town.

I love that all of these books encourage kids to explore their imagination without limitations. They would be a great addition to your home or classroom library!

If you love Strictly No Elephants as much as I do, If you love Strictly No Elephants as much as I do, you’ll want to read The Trouble with Giraffes. 

In this follow-up story, a young girl is on her way to Pet Club with her giraffe. When they get there, her giraffe is too tall to fit inside. I guess it’s a good thing there’s some delicious salad right outside the clubhouse window!

After the girl gets hurt, her friends are ready with a welcome back party at the clubhouse. When she realizes just how high off the ground it is, she starts questioning how welcoming the Pet Club actually is - especially if some can’t get inside. 

Can she find a way to make sure All Are Welcome, just like the sign on the door says?

This sweet story reminds us that friendship often requires a lot of compromise. But when one friend can’t quite reach the middle, a true friend will meet you more than halfway. It combines a story of friendship with an important message about inclusion and accessibility.

Have you read 🦒 The Trouble with Giraffes or 🐘 Strictly No Elephants yet?

Thank you @simonkids for sharing this book with my family! I can’t wait to see if more books are added to The Pet Club series by @lisamantchev and @yooillustration !

Jasper Rabbit is back!! We’ve seen him tackle Cre Jasper Rabbit is back!!

We’ve seen him tackle Creepy Carrots, a Creepy Crayon, and a Creepy Pair of Underwear. This time he has a different tale to share…one filled with chills AND chuckles.

In this story we meet Charlie Marmot. Unfortunately, his tonsils are infected and need to come out. He’s nervous about the operation, but excited about the extra ice cream. Then he has the brilliant idea to keep his tonsils so he can take them to school for show-and-tell! On the big day, Charlie opens wide. However, when the doctor looks inside, the tonsils are already gone! 

This longer chapter book combines the writing style we’ve come to know and love with a plot that will make you feel like you’ve entered The Twilight Zone. With a touch of eerie excitement, get ready for an adventure filled with laughter and an unexpected twist! Perfect for readers of the original series who are ready for a few more thrills and chills!

📚 Do you have a favorite Creepy Tale?

Thank you @simonkids for sharing this book with my family!

A heartfelt thank you to Peter Brown for captivati A heartfelt thank you to Peter Brown for captivating readers of all ages with The Wild Robot series! Your ability to bring Roz’s adventures to life in both chapter book and picture book form is nothing short of magical. 

The Wild Robot introduces us to Roz, and readers get to tag along as she finds herself on a strange, new island. Along the way she learns that the only way to survive is to adapt to her surroundings and learn from the other animals who live there. 

The Wild Robot on the Island might simplify Roz’s story, but the detailed, colorful illustrations draw young readers in. 

Combined, these stories are perfect for readers of all ages and attention spans. They remind us that adventure, friendship, and self-discovery can be beautifully explored in any format.

💛 LIBRARY STACK 💛 Thought I’d take a moment to sh 💛 LIBRARY STACK 💛

Thought I’d take a moment to share what we have checked out from the library right now. I’m a bit behind schedule when it comes to reading and reviewing. I figured if I organized them a bit, I would be more motivated to dive into the stack. It will totally work, right?!?! 🤪

Which titles catch your eye first?
