Halloween is not traditionally celebrated here in Australia, but over the last few years it has become more and more popular. The shops are filling up with costumes, and decorations, and Halloween lollies (candy), and my four year old has begun to notice and ask questions.
A few years ago Noah was scared of anything that was even remotely like a monster. We made these cute monster puppets to help cope with his fears and build a more friendly idea of a ‘monster’ in his mind. These days he loves monsters and ‘scary’ (but not too scary) things and is loving all the zombies and Halloween monsters that are beginning to pop up in the shops.
To build on his current monster interest I made him some monster drawing prompts.
I had to laugh as he told me all about the ‘Yoga’ he was drawing.
“Yogas are green and they have warts on their noses and are really, really, mean monsters who eat all the other monsters.”
It will be a sad day when he realises the word is ‘Ogre’ not ‘Yoga’.
If you’d like to create some monsters of your own, you can download the free printable monster drawing prompts below.
Each page is a free printable pdf. They have been created at A4 size so remember to select ‘fit’ or ‘shrink to fit’ from your printer options if you are printing on US letter-sized paper.
You can download the ‘Who belongs to these eyes?’ monster drawing prompt here.
You can download the ‘Who belongs to these sharp fangs?’ monster drawing prompt here.
You can download the ‘Who belongs to these tentacles and feet?’ monster drawing prompt here.
What will your monsters look like? Are they scary or friendly?

You can click on the photos of each page and it will open the pdf or prompt you to dowbload it. And under each image is a sentance that says ‘download the X monster drawing prompt here’ which is also linked to each pdf.
