Teacher Notes
This activity can be used to support strands from the National Literacy Strategy at Key Stage 1.

Children can use the activity to build simple profiles of characters linked to stories they have read, describing characteristics and appearances with pictures, single words, captions and sentences. See NLS Activity Resource Sheets available as PDF downloadable files from the 'Download Worksheet' button below.

To base work on a story which includes a monster or a troll roll the mouse over each pair of eyes to listen to the sound effects made by six different monsters lurking in a cave. Create a unique monster by clicking on a pair of monster eyes! When a monster appears in the swamp children can experiment with pattern, colour and texture by clicking on the flower the butterfly or the rock.

Ask children to create their own monster linked to a story and print it out.
