Lan, the StrongStart Educator at Kitchener, introduced me to the Shape Monster.

During our outdoor session this week, the Shape Monster came and ate all the shapes for lunch!

Here is a short version of the poem we were using:

Shape monster, shape monster
Munch, munch, munch
How about a yellow circle for your lunch?
Shape monster, shape monster
Munch, munch, munch
How about a blue triangle for your lunch?
Shape monster, shape monster
Munch, munch, munch
How about a red square for your lunch?
Hope you enjoyed your yummy shape lunch!!

This poem has lots of potential as you can add as many shapes and colours as you would like!

Here is what you need:
  1. different coloured felts
  2. 1 sock
  3. buttons or googly eyes
  4. hot glue gun
  5. scissors

Only 3 Steps to make it:
  1.  Glue on buttons or googly eyes on the end of the sock.
  2. Cut out a variety of different coloured shapes.
  3. Copy the poem and fill in your felt shapes and colours.

Enjoy playing with the Shape Monster!!! Place the felt pieces on a tree or a table.

Have your child put on the puppet. Read the poem and watch the Shape Monster gooble up lunch!
