\"monster\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had fun with our flannel monster puppet.\u00a0 The eyes, ears, mouth, nose and hair are all re-moveable, making this a great prop for telling Ed Emberley’s story to infants.\u00a0 We start with just the monster’s green face..then we begin adding parts one at a time:<\/p>\n

Big Green Monster has a big, scary green face,<\/p>\n

Two big yellow eyes, (add eyes)<\/p>\n

a long, bluish-green nose, (add nose)<\/p>\n

Two little squiggly ears, (add ears)<\/p>\n

Scraggly purple hair (add hair)<\/p>\n

and a big, red mouth with sharp white teeth… (add mouth)<\/p>\n

BUT<\/p>\n

\"Go<\/a><\/p>\n

You’re just a PUPPET!<\/p>\n

And you don’t scare us!!!!\u00a0 So…<\/p>\n

GO AWAY, scraggly purple hair,\u00a0 (remove hair)<\/p>\n

GO AWAY, two little squiggly ears,\u00a0 (remove ears)<\/p>\n

GO AWAY, long bluish-green nose,\u00a0 (remove nose)<\/p>\n
