Total Time: 25 minutes

Supplies:

  • brown paper bag
  • scissors
  • construction paper
  • glue stick
  • googly eyes
  • tape
  • plastic coins
  • marker
  • sticky note pad

Steps:

  1. Cut your choice of construction paper to the size of the brown lunch bag. (The color paper you select will be the monster.) You can cut it longer than the length of the bag top to bottom creating enough to turn it in at the top and under the bag at the bottom, if desired. Tape in place.
  2. Feed the Monster Math Game - cut a piece of construction paper to cover one side of the bag

  3. Poke a hole in the center of your bag, then cut to create a monster's mouth.
