THE MATCHBOX MONSTER : Page 10

You need a wooden matchbox, some colored paper and glue. Throw away the drawer part of the matchbox. Cover the outside of the other part with paper (light blue is nice and monsterly). Cut out two circles of colored paper, one smaller than the other. Cut the circles in half and use a half of each to form each eye, as shown. Cut out a fringe of black hair and two goofy teeth. Glue the features in place. With match stubs or glass tacks you can make the electrodes that this monster has instead of ears (where he plugs in when his battery is down). Make an instant body for him and slip the matchbox head down over the first finger. And now, beware of the Franklystern Monster!
