Key stage 1

Dancing avocado monster

You will need (per monster):

One slightly pointy piece of fruit – lemons, limes and avocados work well
One square napkin
Stick-on googly eyes
Paper fangs

Method:

Start by creating a monster face in the middle of your napkin, making sure you keep it centred. Keep it really simple, two or three googly eyes and a couple of paper fangs will do nicely.
Next, take your napkin and twist each of the four corners together.
Pop the napkin on top of your fruit, give it a gentle nudge and watch it dance!
