Our Monster Dear Mr Sandhu's class. Here is the description on how to create our monster. We did this project in groups and so each of the heads looks different and it is quite a funky monster. Each group where their own description and sent it to Mrs. Atkinson's Public Share Folder. The material are found around the house and the Dixie cups and small paper plates were bought at the dollar store. When you recreate our monster, you might want to work in groups too. Good luck creating our monster. We are looking forward to creating yours.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Atkinson's grade five class at Parkcrest Elementary School.

**Step One: The Monster Body**

Take 2 cereal boxes at least 30 cm in length. Glue gun their front faces together. Wrap them in tinfoil and turn the body portrait way. Cut out 9 lime green polka dots and 9 dark blue polka dots using the thumb part of scissors as your tracer. Glue gun them to the body with the dark blue polka dots on the belly, and, the lime green on the back. Now you are ready to attach the heads the arms the legs and the tail. Good luck!

**Step Two: Head Number One**

Start with a shoe box for the head and cover in tin foil. U se a glue gun to attach all the other parts. Cut a 2cm by 1cm hole in the box and tin foil make sure that it is in the middle. That is the nose. Cut a 4cm x 12cm piece of paper in six jagged edges, that is the teeth .Take a red piece of paper and cut out 5 cm long forked tongue. Cut a toilet paper roll in half on a slant and glue it onto the right side of the head. cut a third of another toilet roll, not on a slant and glue it to the left side of the head, near the top.

The neck is two paper towel rolls each covered in tin foil and then glued on the bottom of the head: one on the the left and right. Then glue the two necks together at the bottom to give them strength. For the eyes, cut out 2 ovals that are about 4cm in length. Use the same paper as you used for the tongue. Glue these above the nose hole. Make eyelash spikes using triangles cut from white paper. Make 6 triangles that have a base of 3cm and a height of 4cm. Glue these in a line above the eyes. You are now ready to attach head # 1 to the body. Good luck!

**Step Three: Head Number Two**

The eye is a white circle with a 3 and a half cm diameter. It has a black pupil with red veins going out to the edges. The mouth is a paper plate cut in half coloured with a red and black pattern. The head is a 23cm Hershey Smores box with green construction paper wrapped around it. There are four 2cm long circular cone-like spikes on the top of the head, two are green and two are yellow. You cut a circle that is about 4cm in diameter then cut a slit in the circle to the centre and fold one side of the circle up on the other side of the circle and then you glue it together to make the spikes.

Glue the spikes on top of the head. The two yellow are on the outside and the green two are on the inside. Glue the eye in the middle of the face near the top. Glue the mouth on the bottom of the face so it has a frown. Now you are ready to attach head #2 to the body. Good luck! **Step Four: Head Number Three**

1. First get a tissue box 2. Get some black construction paper and wrap it around the tissue box. <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">3. Get some glue and securely glue the construction paper around the box. (Use a glue gun.) <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">4. Take two paper Dixie cups and measure one cm up from the bottom and draw a line around the cup. Cut on the line. These are the eyes. Glue them onto the face near the top. <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">5. Cut some yellow construction paper into a mouth and draw <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">lines on it. Glue it on like a frown. <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">6. Then take a toilet paper roll and cut it half way and then cut some blue construction paper and wrap it around to make the neck. <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">7. And then take 10 cm diameter paper and cut it into a circle then cut half way threw the circle fold into a cone and tape or glue nose on face do the exact same thing with two more cones. Glue those on top like horns.

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">**Step Five: The Arms**

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">This monster has two arms made out of paper towel rolls that are 11 inches long. <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">They are covered in tin foil, shiny side up. For the hands we glued two 2 and a half inch long Dixie cups, drinking side together. They have a diameter of 3.5cm on the bottom of the Dixie cups. We also have one small spike on the end of each cup. <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">**Step Number Six: The Tail**

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">Start with three small toilet paper rolls glued together end to end and covered in  <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">tin foil. Cut two dark blue 4cm strips in width. Cut two pink 2cm strips in width that are all 18cm long. Put the strips 4cm apart in a blue and pink pattern. Cut six circles that are 8.5cm in diameter. Then glue them together in a stack. This is a base of a cone. Then make a circle that is a 11cm in diameter cut a slit that goes to the centre and make a cone. Make a small blue cone that fits on the peak of the big cone that is the same size as all the other small cones. Make ten green and yellow cones that are 4cm in width. There is four green small cones and three small yellow cones to stick them on the big cone. Then do green,yellow pattern on the pink and blue strips that have four cones on each strip. And then you have your tail!

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">**Step Number Seven: The legs**

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">This monster has four legs. They are all made the same way. Take four toilet paper rolls glued together end to end or use a 30cm paper towel roll. On one end of the paper towel roll glue a small Dixie cup so that the open end goes onto the parer towel roll. Take a small paper plate that measure 47cm in diameter. If the plate is really thin, use a stack of two or three paper plates. Cover the plate in tin foil. Then cover the leg part (paper towel roll with the cup attached), in tin foil. Use a glue gun to glue the leg right in the centre of the paper plate. Repeat that three more times. Now you are ready to glue the legs onto the body.

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">**Step Number Eight: Putting it all together**

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">Use a glue gun to assemble all the body parts. Do it this way: Take head number one and glue it onto the body so that the neck part hangs down in front of the body and the chin is glued to the box in the centre of the body. Use lots of glue. The green head is glued on the right side of the the first head and is also glued to the body. The black head is glued to the left side of head number one and it is also glued to the body. Glue one arm on each side of the body, below the heads, sticking straight out. You might need to use lots of glue. Glue the legs to the bottom of the body. They will be crowded. Glue the tail to the back of the body so that it sticks straight out.

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">Congratulations! You are finished.
