Marching Frankenstein Monster With Boot Lifted High

A goofy cartoon Frankenstein monster lurches along with one knee lifted high and the big boot pointing toward us. His arms hang down with long, wide-spread fingers, and his heavy-lidded eyes give him a tired, grumpy look. He has a flat head with spiky hair, two bolts sticking out of the sides of his neck, a stitched scar across his mouth, and a large rounded nose. Tiny dots of stubble run along his cheek. He wears a short top with two buttons, baggy pants, and chunky boots. The simple, thick outlines make this a good fit for younger kids using crayons or chunky markers. Try coloring his skin a classic green and the bolts in metallic gray, then talk about why monster stories use stitches and bolts. Older kids can add a spooky background of their own.
