Halloween can bring out lots of different emotions for kids. There's the excitement about getting candy. There's the nervousness that comes along with wearing a costume and going house to house collecting treats. There's the scary sounds and props. The list goes on and on.
So some kids might need some extra support with their emotions at Halloween.
And that's where this free printable Frankenstein's monster themed I am feeling drawing prompt comes in.
It's a simple, low pressure activity to get kids opening up about how they're feeling this Halloween.
About this Frankenstein's Monster Themed I am Feeling Drawing Prompt
This activity is all about letting kids express themselves and how they are feeling by drawing their emotions.
All they need to do is add some expressive eyes and some kind of mouth to the monster's blank face. Noses totally optional here. They can use the provided examples to draw from if they'd like or they can draw their own from scratch.
Encourage your child to explain what they're drawing and what they're feeling. Or better yet, make a comment about what you notice in their drawings. Something like, "I noticed that you drew a big smile." can go a long way to opening up the discussion here. So can a comment such as, "I wonder why this monster looks sad."
I highly recommend laminating this printable first and using dry erase markers to draw on it. Here's the laminator I use and love.
If you don't have a laminator, then you can also just use clear sheet protectors, which you can usually find at the dollar store. Just slip the printable inside and voila!
