The finishing touches include sanding the edges and printed surface, and attaching twine, ribbon or string for hanging on your tree. Via: Craft: <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>

Drawing Lesson Plans A MONSTER'S WORLD Using texture, the student will create imaginary monsters. A UNIQUE DRAWING EXPERIENCE Students (and teacher) will see how with just one set of directions, everyone in the classroom will come up with very unique works of abstract art.Students read the story "Where the Wild Things Are" and then created their own "Wild Thing" using construction paper and crayons. They were encouraged to be creative and possibly combine parts from different animals. They were also instructed to create friendly "Wild Things" like the ones in the story. This can also be done by reading the story "I Need My Monster". Another fun way to add to this project is to have students verbalize their monsters name and special powers and to add a speech bubble expressing those things.
