    The Importance of Reading with Your Child

    kids halloween bookmark

    While this easy paper craft little monsters are awesome and fun, let's not overlook the fact of how important it is to read with your child, or to have them read something every single day. 

    Reading is really one of the most important building blocks to your child's learning. And it's also a fun way to watch their minds grow and their confidence soars, too. The more that your child reads, the more that they'll be interested in learning more and more words as well. 

    This is also true for you reading to them. It doesn't take much to read to them and have them engaged and interested in the words. Plus, reading is a great excuse for more snuggle time together, too!

    Monster Bookmark Step-by-Step Instructions

    Find out how to make this great Halloween bookmark! It's such a handy homemade craft! 

    alien craft step 1

    First, print out the PDF templates, then cut out the templates. Use the templates to trace and cut out your monster from a sheet of paper in the colors you would like your monsters to be in.

    alien craft step 2

    Now, take the monster’s antenna, and glue it on the top of the monster’s head. Allow the glue to dry.

    alien craft step 3

    Then, take the monster’s hands, and glue them on both sides of the monster’s body.

    alien craft step 4

    Finish making the body by gluing both feet on the bottom side of the monster.

    alien craft step 5

    Glue the round eye shape on the center point of the monster’s face. If you have googly eyes, these look great with those too.

    alien craft step 6

    Then, use a marker pen to draw the eyeball and the mouth.

    alien craft step 7

    Cut out two pointy teeth and a tongue using a white piece of paper according to the size of your monster’s mouth. Then glue them on the monster’s face.

    alien craft step 8

    Now for the final step, cut out a strip from thick card paper (or popsicle stick) and glue it on the back of the monster.
