Paper Monsters

I learned last year after doing a craft involving monsters that kids LOVE monsters. Keeping that in mind, I came up with this project with a little help from the internet. This particular craft lets the kids create their own monsters--cute, scary, whatever they dream up.

It's pretty simple. The body is just a circle, which I had all prepped and ready to go. You cut two circles, fold one in half, and glue it on top of the other for the mouth.



I put out a basket of scrap paper and googly eyes, and the rest was up to the kid. Some kids made wings, a tail, crazy hair, etc and it turned into a project that a lot of kids enjoyed.

Here is my example...



Once completed, these became instant toys for many of the kids.
