I absolutely LOVE these paint swatch puppets found on Hollis Queen's flickr stream. These would make perfect monstery puppets for Halloween, don't ya think? I have a bag of googley eyes sitting here for two projects and if I had some wee ones of my own, I think we would be making these up right now! Thank you for letting me share this project!

Cauliflower Projects 5 & 6
Another one? I'm telling you, this veggie is more than just tasty! 
Project Five:
Set out new paper, new brushes and that nifty, nifty core of cauliflower. For this project you are going to have your kidlets paint directly onto the bottom of the core. If you look closely you can see that the top of the core allows for a good grip so that the painted part becomes a stamp of sorts. They can paint it with one color or multiple colors or paint and wash and paint again. Really, just have them paint it.
Have your wee ones paint and then stamp onto their paper. They may want to make a picture, that is fine. If you want to do project six you can have them stamp their blobs a wedge away from each other with no overlapping. Set aside to dry and get ready for the final project!
Project Six:
Cut out each blob your kidlet painted and adhere to dark cardstock.
Have your wee ones turn their blobs into monsters, space creatures and animals using the markers. Cut out of dark cardstock so that you have a border around the creatures.
Glue to a craft stick or other stick and you now have cauliflower monster puppets! See? I told you this would be nutty. Who knew you could do so much with a cauliflower?
