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!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
