We have spent the last week enjoying the book Caps for Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina. It only seemed fitting that we do some kind of craft to go along with the book, so C and R made monkeys.
First, they painted paper plates brown.
Then, I drew a crazy looking face shape on yellow construction paper and cut it out. C and R added googly eyes, and drew a nose and mouth on each face. They glued the face onto the plate once the paint dried, and they glued on construction paper circles for ears. They came out cute.
I am linking this post to stArt (story+art = a great start) at A Mommy's Adventures.

They turned out adorable! I'm impressed you were able to freehand a monkey face!
So cute! I love all the things you are doing with this book!
What a cute little monkey face!
They turned out really cute...I loved this book when I was little and totally forgot about it. I will have to get it for Emily! Thank you for linking up to stART!!
Very cute - now they just need some hats :)
Those did turn out super cute! And just think if you put it on a popsicle stick you have a fun mask for playing.
Very clever! I agree - you could also give them some caps :)
That is an adorable paper plate craft. And the book is one of our favorites!
Adorable! I just thought that it might be fun to decorate a cap with fabric markers, puffy stickers etc. and then have a hat sale!

Great monkeys, we did something similar when we were working on M's. Sounds like a great book!
