Craft
In the past I've had the children make their own "Wild Thing" puppets with paper lunch bags, googly eyes, feathers, pom poms, etc. This year I decided to try something different. I printed out this PDF of the Big Green Monster from Emberley's book. I cut out the pieces beforehand for the toddlers and the preschools cut out their own. They turned out really cute.
