4. To make your monster's body, take a blank piece of white paper and place your hand flat in the middle with the fingers all
touching each other and the thumb close to the pointer. Have someone trace loosely around your hand. Join the lines at the bottom.
This is your monster's body.
5. Now you can glue on the monster parts to your monster's body. Use as many body parts as you want. Monsters can have 6 eyes
or 3 arms or 2 noses or no noses!
6. Give your monster a name. Put your monster under your bed, or hang it on your wall.
7. To add your monster to our Monster Gallery: Ask your parents to send a scan of your monster to editor@flashlightpress.com.
(Parents: please send a lo res jpeg file.) In the email, tell us your first name, your age, your monster's name, and what city you live in.
We will post your monster at the bottom of this page.
