Alphabet Monster Game

The next best thing to feeding yourself is feeding an Alphabet Monster!

First, you'll need to make a set of ABC circles:

·       Trace circles on construction paper using a small cup (mine are about 2 1/2" big)

·       Cut them out

·       Write all the Letters on the circles. (I made a set of Upper-case Letters, and a set of Lower-case Letters.)

Second, you'll need to create a Monster:

·       Grab an empty cereal box, shoe-box, twinkie box, or anything cardboard (I used an empty oatmeal canister).

·       Cut out a little opening for the mouth.

·       Cover the box/canister with construction paper and write letters all over it.

·       Decorate your monster with crazy eyes, nose, hair, etc.

Third, you PLAY!

·       Lay all the letters out on the floor or table (we used just the upper-case letters when we played).

·       Say a letter in a goofy monster voice and have your child search for it, then feed it to the monster by placing it in his mouth. Chomp!
