Puzzle Piece Monster Craft Idea

Hi friends! It’s that time of the month again! The Kids Craft Stars and I are joining forces to bring you our MONTHLY craft challenge post.

Every month we have a challenge between us bloggers to in-cooperate a different craft medium or theme into a simple tutorial. This month’s challenge was to create a “monster” kid craft. With Halloween just around the corner, this was the perfect challenge for us!

So without further ado – today I present to you our Puzzle Piece Upcycled Monsters craft tutorial that is not only super simple and perfect for younger children – but it’s also REALLY inexpensive since we are using RECYCLED materials! This could easily be a ZERO cost craft project!!!

No need to be scared of these adorable monsters! Just check out the full tutorial below to see what I’m talking about! Plus there are also links to the other bloggers participating in this challenge, so be sure to click around!

Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your monsters made from recycled puzzle pieces, on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram, for us to admire! #gluedtomycrafts

The directions are simple – have children decorate their puzzle pieces however they like! No real rules or limit – set that creativity free!
To give the Puzzle Piece Monsters life, be sure to glue on some wiggle eyes and draw on some “not so scary” fangs.
Then add magnets or string to the back so you can easily display them on a fridge, on a doorknob etc. Just have fun with it!
