The Colour Monster

Product Information

He doesn’t have hands, and his feet only have four toes. He definitely looks like he’s coming from a magical, far-away land!

Once these comical creations are embellished with pom-pom noses, wiggle eyes, and funny craft teeth, they’ll make anybody laugh! 7. Birthday Party FunEven with those mega chompers, this monster looks as friendly as can be. Do you think it is friendly or mischievous? Maybe it likes to play jokes or make people laugh. You can make this cool creature your own with creative coloring. Long, short, curvy or straight spikes – you decide. Mix up shades of greens, purples and blues for his frightful but friendly exterior.

As for the eyes and mouth, they should stand out, so we could use yellow, bright orange, or red. If you have glitter coloring pens, that’s even better.

Maybe your kid can color it in the same colors as their favorite plush toy and imagine what they’d talk about if the toy were real! Two pipe cleaners should then be pushed into the bottom of the cube, and the remaining parts fashioned into spirals to create hilarious legs. You can color this monster with any colors you want. Try using bright, cheery hues like pinks, purples and blues to make it extra fun. You could give it rainbow stripes or polka-dotted fur for a whimsical look. The Feelings Monster Pattern Tracing Activity - Invite children to practise pencil control as they trace over the dotted lines shown on the monsters with this handy Feelings Monster Pattern Tracing Activity. Children can also be encouraged to talk about how they think the monsters are feeling, while they work on their fine motor skills. You can ask them to use coloured pencils to trace over the lines to match a colour to how the monster is feeling. For example, the happy monster could be decorated using yellow pencils and for the angry monster, children could use red pencils. It has fur, three horns, and a spiky tail, but it will definitely look adorable colored orange! He looks as if he’s hiding behind something, so maybe he’s playing Hide and Seek.

The monster should be laminated to its front using a thin cardboard box and a hole cut out where the mouth is. Monster arms and legs made from pipe cleaners can be added to complete this colorful craft; all left is for the youngster to name it! 2. A Spooky Monster Classroom Craft How does music make you feel? Think of different songs/styles of music that make you happy, sad, angry etc. Practice drawing faces that show different emotions. Can you draw a happy face? Can you draw an angry face? Use a mirror to see how your facial expression can change to show emotions. Remember to read The Colour Monster Goes to School and try our related ideas too! Teaching Ideas and Resources: EnglishThe monster in this coloring sheet has three big eyes and his big mouth is wide open, as if he’s screaming. A small hole should be cut in the bottom, and the peak of the party hat pushed up to create a unique and hilarious monster figurine! 8. A Comical Clothespin Monster Let’s explore colour some more through messy play! The children might like to experiment with paint or water and food dye by mixing colours to see what new colours they can make. What colours can they create and what feelings do they link with their new colours? The little girl puts the Colour Monster’s feelings into separate jars. Use the template below to draw things that make you happy/ angry/sad etc. His skin is covered in thin lines that could be hair, or maybe that’s just the pattern of his fur. Could he come from another planet, and he’s just trying to introduce himself?
