October wouldn't be October without monsters.
And lots of 'em.
The most fun thing about this project is that you can give the kids lots of choices...like how many eyes do you want your monster to have? Where do you want his eyes? They can make the face look pretty much however they want it.
But just as a warning, this project has lots of steps and takes a lot of fine motor coordination.
Here is what you need:
painted toilet paper rolls
Construction paper, it whatever colors you want
googly eyes
pipe cleaners
Poke holes in the sides of the rolls. You'll need to cut the paper into a shape to use as their spiky hair, a few mouth shapes, and eye shapes.
Glue the "hair" around the top of their head. Have them poke their pipe cleaner arms through the holes. Glue on the mouth and eye pieces. Glue on the googly eyes.
Make sure he (or she!) gets a cool name!! And don't use it to scare your sister. :)
