Once upon a time, there was a big, silly monster who loved to play. He opened his big mouth and took a ball! But don’t worry, he was just playing. Let’s get ready to have some fun!
When we go camping, we can roast marshmallows and tell stories by the campfire. But sometimes, we hear funny noises. “What’s that sound?” we might ask. Is it a monster? No, it’s just an owl saying “hoot, hoot!”
Sometimes, we see big shadows. “Is that a monster?” we wonder. No, it’s just a big tree waving hello!
Let’s play a game! We can make shadow monsters with our hands. “I’m a big monster!” we say, and everyone laughs. It’s fun to pretend and play together.
When it’s time to sleep, we might feel a little scared. “Is there a monster under the bed?” we ask. But when we look, we see it’s just our toys. Silly us!
Sometimes, we need to hurry to the bathroom. “Oh no, I need to go!” we say. It’s important to go when we need to, so our tummies feel good.
Guess what? We can pretend to be explorers and find dinosaur bones! We dig, dig, dig with our shovels and find big bones and sharp teeth. “It’s a Tyrannosaurus!” we shout. Dinosaurs are so cool!
If we ever feel scared, like someone is following us, we can stay calm and find a safe place. It’s important to be brave and tell a grown-up if we feel worried.
Remember, it’s okay to feel scared sometimes. But with our family and friends, we can be brave and have lots of fun. Good night, and see you in the morning for more adventures!
Shadow Monster Creations: Gather your friends or family and a flashlight. In a dark room, shine the flashlight on a wall and use your hands to create different shadow monsters. Can you make a monster with big ears or a long tail? Take turns and see who can create the silliest monster. Talk about how the shadows change when you move your hands closer or further from the light.
Outdoor Shadow Hunt: Go outside on a sunny day and look for shadows. Can you find shadows of trees, cars, or even your own shadow? Try to trace the outline of a shadow on the ground with chalk. Notice how the shadows change as the sun moves across the sky. Ask yourself, “What happens to the shadow when the sun is behind a cloud?”
Monster Story Time: With a grown-up, create a short story about a friendly monster who loves to play with shadows. Draw pictures of your monster and the shadows it makes. Share your story with your friends or family. What adventures does your monster go on? How does it use shadows to have fun?
