Name Monsters

I had forgotten all about these fun little creatures until I started playing Picasso with my son on the Kindle Fire.It has a mirror option., which is how we accomplished this Lady Dylan Monster/Alien/Thing.

But you can do it old school with a pencil and some paper. 

Fold your paper in half and with a heavy hand write the child's name in cursive on the fold, it's OK to spill over to the other side, as you see we did with the y and part of the N in Dylan.

Then you close the paper up so the pencil is facing the clean side of the paper. 

Next you can either rub really hard with the side of your pencil, or let your child color with a very heavy hand on the side with the name on it.

Open it up and you will see a light version of your original heavy handed name., trace over both with a sharpie and let your child decorate it with eyeballs and what not.
