We are long time fans of The Color Monster book by Anna Llena– with it featuring on our 21 Best Books about Feelings and Emotions and 101 Social Skills Books for Kids booklists and one of our earliest Social Emotional Learning posts – 4 Ways to Boost Your Child’s Emotional Intelligence. Use the book, The Color Monster, by Anna Llenas as inspiration for this easy monster craft for young children. The illustrations in this book help open up a whole discussion of feelings and emotions about different children’s experiences. These feelings colouring sheets are ideal for an 'All About Me' or 'Ourselves' topic to encourage children to develop an understanding of their own feelings and emotions and those of others.

Don’t worry though, this project is not as serious as it sounds. These fun and easy monster drawings do more than just create monster paintings.

Read the book, The Color Monster. Use the questions above or your own questions to help facilitate a discussion on how artists use color to express feelings. Step 2: Draw Eyes This project works really well with 5 and 6-year-olds. Some of the examples you will see in this post are from 1st graders. However, we know all elementary-aged children love monster art projects (so really this could work for any age). This set of colouring sheets shows a cute monster character representing different feelings and emotions. Invite children to decorate a monster using pencils, pencils, crayons or paint and talk about how they think each monster is feeling. En bilderbok perfekt för den som vill prata om färger och känslor, i ett! Jag älskar bilderna i boken. De olika komponenterna är utklippta i olika material och färger, som ett stort kreativt pysselprojekt. Det skapar en häftig dimension.

De este que os voy a decir...la fama ya le precede. Lo he comprado para introducir las emociones y sentimientos en inglés. También en formato pop-up. Me gustan mucho más este tipo de cuentos para usarlos en clase porque son más vistosos y captan muchísimo la atención de los alumnos. Read The Color Monster book to students. Take another look through the book – noticing the color used to represent each emotion and how the illustrator use texture and imagery to represent each emotion?

This drawing is great because there really is no wrong way to do it! Most kids will feel successful and proud of their silly (or serious) artworks. It also allows them to be a little silly and what kid doesn’t love that? Start With The Eyes
