It’s so easy! With a few simple steps – you too can make these adorable tye-dye colored monsters with your child AND also learn a new way to use those markers in your stash!

Coffee Filter Monsters Craft Supplies:
* Coffee Filters
* Crayola Markers
* Paint Brushes
* Water Dish
* Large Wiggle Eyes
* Colored Cardstock
* Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
* School Glue
Directions:
* First have your child draw out a colorful design on their coffee filters. The more color that is added, the more of a tye-dye design they will get.
* Now place your coffee filters on a plate. Have your child “paint” the coffee filters with water and a paint brush. This will make the colors bleed.
* Once done, hang or set aside your coffee filters to let them dry completely.
* To finish off the monsters, cut out facial features from cardstock and glue on several wiggle eyes.

Hi Angie – there are alot of factors on that. IE – how drenched the coffee filters are with water, where you lay them to dry, what you lay them on to dry… If you only have an hour, I don’t think that would be long enough time though

I would love to do this project with my son’s preschool class, but the Halloween party is only an hour long. How long does it take for the coffee filters to dry so that the faces can be glued on?
