Instructions
Follow these step-by-step instructions to create the monster:
1. Cut Out the Green Letter MDraw and cut a large uppercase letter M from green construction paper. The letter should be thick enough to hold decorations.
2. Create the Yellow TeethCut several small yellow triangles. These triangles will serve as teeth. Aim for evenly sized shapes, though slight variation adds character.
3. Cut the Eye StalksFrom black construction paper, cut four long rectangles. These should be narrow and tall enough to extend above the top of the letter M.
4. Make the EyesCut four large circles from colored paper. These are the monster’s eyes.
Next, cut four smaller circles for the pupils from another contrasting color.
Glue the yellow triangles along the inside edges of the letter M. Position them facing inward to form a jagged “mouth”.
6. Add the Eye StalksGlue the four black rectangles to the top of the letter M so they extend upward.
7. Assemble the EyesGlue the large circles to the top ends of the black rectangles. Then glue the smaller circles inside the larger circles to form pupils.
Allow the craft to dry completely before displaying.
