- The child practiced their fine motor skills by drawing the monster.
- The child used their imagination to create a unique monster.
- The child may have practiced their spelling by labeling the different parts of the monster (e.g. "eyes", "teeth", "claws").
- The child may have practiced their descriptive writing skills by writing a short story about the monster.
- The child may have practiced their persuasive writing skills by convincing someone that their monster is the scariest.
Encourage continued development by having the child create a whole world for their monster to live in, complete with other creatures and a backstory. They could also write a comic strip or create a stop-motion animation featuring their monster.
