This wonderful craft kit from ALEX is based entirely on a child’s creativity level since there are no specific instructions and there really is no wrong way to make a monster. The packaging is so bright and appealing that kids couldn’t wait to get their hands on it. All of the materials for the puppets were individually wrapped which helped keep things organized. The hands-on activity, which enhances hand-eye coordination and so many other valuable skills, is open ended and it usually takes about 20-25 minutes to complete a monster. The best part is that the creation of the monster is just the beginning, next comes the puppet show where imagination is really on display and celebrated by your applause.
