Monster activities are always a hit when it comes to Halloween activities for preschoolers. And they’re so much fun! These monster projects are the perfect visual aid for all of those “scary” stories the students ask to hear around this time of year. And I know the kids will love using some of them to tell their own spooky tales!
Of course, I tend to aim for not-so-scary monster ideas . . . for me, just for the kids!
