•    How to make a Paper Bag Monster?

Let your toddler design her own monster on a paper bag by coloring however she likes! You could use permanent black marker for the eyes, and when you're finished, you now have a new puppet!

1. Pour some black paint onto a paper plate. Dip a hand into the paint and smooth it on to a piece of orange paper. Turn the paper around so the cat's legs are facing down.

2. Cut a cats face from black construction paper. Make eyes by gluing on white circles or google eyes, or you can always draw them on with a white crayon or pencil. Glue the cat's face onto the hand print. 

Another, less messier, option is to trace the hand print on black construction paper and cut out.

Pumpkin, Pumpkin On the Ground

Now you are a great big ball...
