   What the film says

   1. 0:00

      Hi, I'm Krea! Today your door turns into a monster. A big, silly monster that guards your room!

   2. 0:08

      A door is tall, like a giant face. Eyes up here. A big mouth down there.

   3. 0:15

      And the door handle? It can be the nose. Or the tip of a long, wiggly tongue!

   4. 0:22

      Plan it on paper first. Draw a tall rectangle, and put your monster's face inside.

   5. 0:29

      Now pick a skin color. Use big paper, wrapping paper, or a plastic tablecloth.

   6. 0:35

      Ask a grown-up which door you can use. A bedroom door works too!

   7. 0:40

      Your turn. Draw your door monster on paper. Then pick its skin color.

   What the film says

   1. 0:00

      Time to make your monster's face! First, giant eyes.

   2. 0:05

      Grab two paper plates. Color a big circle in the middle, then a dark dot. Monster eyes!

   3. 0:13

      Want it sillier? Make one eye big and one eye small. Or give it three eyes!

   4. 0:19

      Now the mouth. Cut a big grin from dark paper. Then cut white triangles for teeth, and glue them on the edge.

   5. 0:28

      Or make a mummy door! Cut lots of long white paper strips. They go across the door, with a gap for the eyes to peek out.

   6. 0:37

      Your turn. Make two eyes and a mouth with teeth. Lay them on the floor, and look at your monster's face.

   What the film says

   1. 0:00

      Your monster parts are ready. Let's put them on the door!

   2. 0:04

      Use painter's tape. It holds tight, and peels off later without hurting the door.

   3. 0:10

      Skin first. A grown-up does the high parts. You do the low parts.

   4. 0:16

      Then the eyes, the mouth, and the teeth. Step back. Is your monster looking at you?

   5. 0:23

      Every monster door needs a sign. Write, Knock if you dare! Then tape it on the door.

   6. 0:30

      Now stand next to your monster, and take a family photo. Everybody say, Boo!

   7. 0:37

      Your turn. Put up your monster door. Add a sign, and take a photo. You made a monster door!
