I have some terrific supportive parents in my class this year! One of my parents sent in a *huge* box of envelopes, along with a craft suggestion: Monster bookmarks that eat your page! Love it! Here's the examples my student brought in from home:
 |
| Kisses! |
 |
| Scary Teeth! |
Here's what we did:
1. Seal the envelope closed.
2. Cut the corners off, making sure each corner is big enough to decorate.
 |
| Cut the corners |
 |
| Make 4 per envelope |
3. Use a contrasting color paper to create teeth, eyes, etc.
 |
| We traded the scraps from our envelopes to make teeth! |
4. Get out of their way! The kids had such great ideas!
 |
| We scrounged around in the recycling bin for small scraps, too! |
 |
| adding teeth |
 |
| I was informed that this one is a ninja |
 |
| Sorry for the glare - they were in a ziplock bag to go home |
 |
| Variety of fangs and teeth |
5. Remind them to use them on a book! :) We did figure out that they make cool finger puppets, too. Just sayin'.
