teacher and urged teachers to be paid more.Children and their creativity must not be underestimated and neither their teachers'. An Australian mentor found a creative way to engage

with her students as she crafted hand-made stuffed toys for them which were based on the 'monster' drawings that they made. Her efforts came to light after a student's dad took to
