This Frankenstein's monster cut and paste activity is a fun craft for preschool students, pre-k students, and kindergarten kids.
My nerdy side has to take a moment to point out that people call this creation Frankenstein, the more appropriate name is "Frankenstein's Monster." Frank was actually the "scientist" who created the monster. =)
Older children may not enjoy the activity as much, but that will depend on your particular child or students.
While this craft was designed with Halloween in mind, it's also a great activity to go along with reading the hilarious and relatable book Crankenstein.
