Creature Footprints

Yesterday, we created these creature footprints using paper stencils and mud.  We each designed a creature and then created the footprint.  Together, the footprints looked a large creature had walked down the sidewalk outside of the Fremont Community School!

Creature and Monster again…

Collaborative Collage Creature

Yesterday during our Creatures and Monsters class we created a large 5 foot tall collaged creature named Joe. Out of a hat, each child drew a different body part they were in charge of creating to make Joe. We looked through magazines to find textures that we like, then cut out the body shapes. The child responsible for making the hands had to talk to the child making the legs to know how many to make. This also went for hands and arms, necks and head and heads and hats!!! It was a true collaboration!

Magnet Monster

After we were finished creating Joe, we moved on to smaller creatures on magnets. Each child got to create different creatures by combining body parts that they had drawn, colored and then cut out of a soft magnet material. These creatures can be rearranged as well as holding up important information on your refrigerator.

Monsters and Creatures Class with Sam and Charlie!

Last Wednesday, Sam and Charlie used their FREE Coupon for a Monsters and Creatures class. They really got into creating many arms, legs, and other body parts to their creatures. Instead of just printing the scratchfoam in a rectangle format, we cut out each body part, used a brayer to put in the ink and with the heel of our hand pressed the paper onto the foam. They turned out great!
