It is really interesting to create monsters because there is no one certain image of it. All is up to your imagination. Monsters have different shapes of body, for example, you can cut the top of the monster in a zigzag way. Monsters have also different shape and color of eyes and mouse. You can add a nose, eyebrows or another detail you consider appropriate. Even the number of eyes is not limited by two. Besides, it is possible to glue googly eyes instead of paper. Do not be afraid to implement all your ideas. But one must be very careful working with utility knife. It is better not to let children to deal with it, especially those under 14.
