Week of June 6, 2023 - Monsters

Luke is OBSESSED with Halloween & monsters. So I used this week to have an excuse to let him live his best life (Charlotte & Clesse love it too, they just don't realize it! I printed out these Monster Coloring Sheets to set out in the mornings for when Charlotte wants something to do. Clesse & Luke followed her lead on coloring.

Monster Shapes

I used this craft to practice shapes, along with cutting, gluing and counting (for the eyes). Charlotte elected to cut most of her own shapes while Clesse & Luke used some that I used.

Feed the Monster Game

I found this idea online and decided to adjust it to meet my kids skill levels. Luke just practiced letters, which he did REALLY well. I found some little erasers from Target at the Dollar Spot a few years back and they worked great for his little hands.

I started Clesse on some sight words and rhyming words, which he totally got! I started him with the word "at", then had him find "bat", "cat", etc. He's really good at starting sounds and picked up on it really quickly!

Charlotte decided to decorate her own - I originally intended to help her learn some Korean letters, but she was really into helping the boys figure out what to feed their monsters. She worked on some sight words as well, but her reading is way above her grade level and not something I'm too worried about.

Monster Graham Crackers

We used graham crackers, Cool Whip (dyed green), strawberries, chocolate chips & candy eyes. The kids had plenty of shapes to work with but I'm sure they also would have loved to have some banana with this! Food art is a favorite at our house (although Clesse wasn't super into it, he just wanted some chocolate chips this time around).

Play-Doh Monsters

This is a very recycled activity for us - this picture is from when Charlotte was Luke's age! Play-doh is a big hit at our house and this activity is super simple to set up with straws, pipe cleaners and googly eyes.
