Butler Catholic second-graders make Valentine Monsters

Scruffy, a valentine monster, was brought to life by Butler Catholic School second-grader Violet McIntyre during a Valentine's Day-themed art lesson on Wednesday. Scruffy is named after his unmistakable fur, Violet said, which students painted on using shapes cut from paper plates. Irina Bucur/Butler Eagle

Who’s purple all over, boasts a row of jagged teeth and just wants to capture your love this Valentine’s Day?

Brought to life with the help of some construction paper, scissors, glue and the craftsmanship of second-grader Violet McIntyre, Scruffy — a valentine monster — could tell you. Scruffy wore his heart (also made of construction paper) on what ostensibly could be his sleeve.

Violet named her valentine Scruffy for the black lines painted on the monster that resemble fur. Scruffy is very furry, the Butler Catholic School student explained.

Last Wednesday, Violet was one of 12 students in Rosemary Watson’s classroom at Butler Catholic to create valentine monsters during a Valentine’s Day-themed art lesson.
