We tried to make these shape monsters scary-looking for Halloween. We really did. Do you see the spikes? The fangs? The creepy goatee? But try as we might, our monsters just looked silly. It was still a lot of fun, though! And now my 5-year-old can say with confidence, “Do you have any more of those trapezoids, Mom?” and my heart swells with pride. Because even if our monsters did end up looking goofy, at least she learned a new shape!
If you’re in the mood for a fun monster/creature/robot(?) craft – and you want to sneak some math learning in there – try this silly shape monster activity. See if you can make your monsters scarier than ours.
