There is a fun little book called "5 Little Monsters go to School" that I read to my class on the second week of school. Most of our centers incorporated monsters just to keep up the fun.
We had monster making play dough. Of course they could do what ever they wanted with the play dough. This is how the table looked when the kids came into preschool. Pretty open ended and inviting - but I did have one example just so they could get their wheels turning. Most my kids are pretty shy and timid still and have been nervous to get in and get exploring. As the year goes on I will stop providing examples so the "figuring out part" can be included in the creativity.
They all got super creative on their own. I was very proud.
Adding eyes to popsicle sticks... that took some skills.
