My kindergarten kids love the book Go Away Big Green Monster, by Edward Emberley.
A simple, colorful, storybook to entertain, and help kids get over their fears. After reading the monster book about conquering fears, we completed a listen and do monster craft for kids, otherwise known as a glyph or craftivity. (see below)

Monster Craft for Kids
Call it what you want, a monster craft, monster glyph, or shape glyph, this activity is sure to be a hit! We all know what a craft is, but “glyph” might be an unfamiliar term to you.
What is a Glyph?
A glyph is like a personalized craft with a purpose. Students follow step-by-step directions while completing a craft to reveal characteristics about themselves.
The end product is the same overall craft as the rest of the class, but the details reveal an individualized glyph.
