Steps to Create Your Monster Craft
Step 1 Download and print the My Pre-K Box Print & Go Build a Monster Craft. You may want to use cardstock or photo paper so the monster is more sturdy. Choose which pages to print, as this free PDF printable monster craft includes a black and white page and a colored one.
Step 2 Cut the monster’s body along the outline. Cut out the other parts of the monster too, like its teeth, heart-shaped tongue, eyes, and colorful patches. Just a safety reminder: please assist your kids in using scissors and other sharp objects.

Step 3 Now, carefully cut the inside of the mouth. If you are using the black and white version, you can choose what color your monster will be! Be sure to color the monster before pasting it together.

Step 4 Glue the teeth to the backside, making sure it is pretty much aligned to show those little monster teeth! The bigger and longer one is the upper teeth, and the smaller one is the lower teeth.

Step 5 Add a small amount of glue to the lower front part of the heart. Then, carefully paste it inside the mouth, behind the teeth. The upper part of the heart should show up in the mouth's opening. It serves as the cute monster’s tongue!

Step 6 Now, glue the backside of the monster to the white monster outline. Make sure to only put glue around the outline of the monster’s body.
Step 7 Glue all the eyes and the rest of the pieces to decorate your monster. There's no exact format of a monster, so just let your child have fun and explore his creativity!
Step 8 Lastly, fold it along the dashed lines. Push and pull its upper and lower body to make it move.
