First Friday Storytime: The Boy with Big, big feelings

I hope you were able to join us for this month's storytime! I really like The Boy with Big, Big Feelings by Britney Winn Lee and Illustrated by Jacob Souva. I have big feelings and this book reminds me big feelings are a good thing! Do you sometimes get big feelings?

For this month's craft we are making Emotion Monsters! It helps me when I can name and describe my feelings, so these Emotion Monsters are a great way for me to talk about my feelings. 

What you need:

• paper plate
• color paper
• white paper
• crayons or markers or colored pencils
• scissors (make sure to ask an adult for help)
• tape

Directions:

1. Choose an emotion for your Emotion Monster! (Happy, sad, scared, mad, worried, ect)
2. Color your plate.

3. Take 2 long strips of paper and 2 short strips of paper (these will be your arms and legs) and crinkle them up.

4. Tape your arms and legs to the back of the plate.
5. Use the other pieces of paper to make eyes, eyebrows, hair, nose, mouth, tears, cheeks, and whatever else your Emotion Monster needs! 
6. Tape your face pieces onto your plate
7. Enjoy your Emotion Monster!
