Trace monster claws onto craft foam and have your kiddos cut them out (they will need a total of 4 each). Then use pre-cut triangles and glue a claw to each finger (only on 2 of the 4 claws). Use a stapler or glue gun to adhere two of the claws together (make sure not to attach them together at the wrist!) to complete the craft. Your kiddos now have super cute monster claws to wear while you read a popular Monster book!
