Optional: Glitter
Paint the egg carton brown, green or black-actually
any color your child wants to use is fine. Let dry.
If you want to add glitter-take a cotton swap or
small brush and paint on white glue (it dries clear)
and sprinkle the glitter over the glue-shaking off
the excess. Let this dry. On the hinge side of the
carton cut a hole in both the lid and the bottom
for your child's hand. Open the carton and inside
where the egg sections are, place a piece of red
paper that has been folded accordion style. Glue
this in place. On the top of the carton lid on the
front inside edge, glue a long strip of white "teeth"
that have been cut out of white paper. On the
front edge above the teeth cut two holes for the
eyes and decorate if you wish with paint or
markers. Optional: Make "hair" by gluing on
yarn to the top of the egg carton.
To Finish-
Cut the toe from your sock and slip
it on your child's arm. Grasp the puppet through
the holes made earlier to open and shut the
monster's mouth. Make several and give a show
for friends and family on a rainy day!
