I have use the story “Aliens Love underpants” as a stimulus for discussion about aliens . What will “The Alien” look like and how they might move, do they have eyes , a nose, ears, legs, arms, hands. What colour might the Alien be. We can use coloured paper to choose background and draw out Alien shape. Then we can glue googley eyes ,bits of foil, pipe cleaners or ribbon on to add features and texture. Teacher cuts out Alien to display.
We also have an option of colouring the Alien Underpants.
I have added a picture of the display from an activity with Early Start this year,
Children enjoyed the activity and also had fun moving like the Alien might move.
