Monster Cut and Paste enables children to create their own monsters by cutting out the nose and mouths and sticking them onto the monster bodies. Children can practice their cutting skills by cutting out the nose and mouths.
These can also be laminated and used over again. They can also be used as playdough mats.
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate,
First one said, "Oh my, it's getting late!"
Second one said "There are witches in the air,"
Third one said, "but we don't care!"
Fourth one said, "Let's run and run and run."
Fifth one said, "I'm ready for some fun!"
Ooo ooo went the wind, and out went the lights,
And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.

Children will enjoy creating their very own farm animal mask. These masks can be coloured, collaged and painted to make them nice and bright. Cut out the eyes and 2 holes on either side of the face, add string and tie around children's face. These can also be used as farm animal hats by cutting the face out and attaching them to cardboard to fit around the child's head.

There was a little turtle
Who lived in a box.
He swam in the puddles
And climbed on the rocks.
He snapped at the mosquito,
He snapped at the flea.
He snapped at the minnow,
And he snapped at me.
He caught the mosquito,
He caught the flea.
He caught the minnow,
But he didn't catch me!
