It’s my turn to share the Picture Book of the Day and my choice was Even Monsters Need Haircuts! This is a fun little Halloween book that’s not scary at all. And it’s a bit funny too. We loved the book!
I wanted to create a cutting activity for Royal and Logi-Bear. I had them each choose the color of their monsters hair. While I was cutting, they were decorating their monsters. Royal decided that his monster was going to have 100 eyes.
While he was decorating, I cut his hair to look like this.
And when he was done with his eyes, we glued the top down.
I tried to convince them to let the hair dry, but it didn’t last long. They wanted to cut!!
Royal’s final monster and haircut!

If I was a bit more CSS inclined I would try to make it stay in cursive!
