Materials for this fun fine motor activity

All you need is

1. Cardboard packaging.

2. Marker.

3. Stones.

Instructions

Cut a rectangle from a cardboard packaging and a small opening in the middle for a mouth. I made my life easier with no cutting and just used the packaging of a new fry pan.

Create our own adorable Frankenstein face.

Tell your little one, that the stone eating monster is really hungry and needs some snacks.

In our case, it eats mainly stones, but yours can eat pompoms, cars, paper, pencils just everything. The most important thing is to use their hands and to stay focused for a while.

And here is how it went in our case. First I demonstrated the adorable Frankenstein face. Then, I went cooking while our little one served the stone dinner to our new friend – the stone eating monster.

I wished, my toddler would eat so much and so fast like this little guy! Beside the stones, it ate also some seashells! Yummy!
