Paper Plate Green Monster Craft

Paper Plate Green Monster Craft

Green Monster Made From A Paper Plate

There is NO reason to be scared of today’s kid friendly Paper Plate Green Monster craft. Yes… it’s monster after all. But this green colored monster is NOT scary to recreate. I can pinky promise on that!

Not only is this monster themed idea super NOT scary but he’s also very easy, inexpensive and fun for kids to make. PLUS he goes along perfectly with the children’s book “Go Away, Big Green Monster” by Ed Emberley, making it the BEST excuse to have story time and craft time this afternoon!

Caldecott Award-winning author-artist Ed Emberley has created an ingenious way for children to chase away their nighttime fears. Kids can turn the pages of this book and watch the Big Green Monster grow. Then, when they’re ready to show him who’s in charge, they’ll turn the remaining pages and watch him disappear! This lavish reissue features dramatic eyes and sparkling foil on the cover.

So what are you waiting for? Haven’t I convinced you yet? Let’s scare those bedtime monsters away with this customizable and fun kid craft today!

Happy crafting {and crushing those nightmares} my friends! Don’t forget to read the book I mentioned above, along with the craft!
