This week I read Mies Van Hout’s book Friends to many of my library classes. I shared the book with my kindergarten class and instructed them to create and draw their own monster. We started with a free hand blob, turned it around and decided which end was up. They then added eyes and any other features they wanted to make a unique monster. They were encouraged to add a lot of colour using oil pastels. Considering that these children are only 3 to 5 years old I think they did a fabulous job. Enjoy!

These are the best monster ever! I wish I could draw with such abandon and expression as these 3-5 year olds!

I agree. I knew that they would come up with some great monsters. They were all so excited about their creations and couldn’t wait to show me.

My favourite is the wild scribble monster – probably because that’s how I feel most of the time! You are doing fabulous work with these kids…
