Paper Plate Monster Craft Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate {one per monster craft}
* Craft Paint {any color you like!}
* Paint Brushes
* Cardstock {affiliate link}
* School Glue {affiliate link}
* Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
* Decorative Craft Eyes/Wiggle Eyes
* Hand-Held Office Stapler
optional – glitter glue, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* First cut a circle out of the center of your paper plate. This will give you a nice wide open “mouth” for your monster.
* Next have children paint their paper plate ring however they like.
* While they are working on that, cut out some facial features for the monster from the cardstock. Think eyes, teeth, ears, antennas, hair etc {whatever your child likes!}
* To finish off the Paper Plate Monster kid craft – staple/glue the cardstock pieces in their designated spots on the paper plate, as well as the decorative eyes.
* Then display proudly! {or add other embellishments to really make it your own!}

As a bonus feature of today’s post – here is another version to try with your child! Simply “pinch” a few mini clothespins along the center of the paper plate, for some impressive monster teeth!
