Craft Supplies:
- Large Craft Foam Hearts – 1 per craft
- Cardstock Paper
- School Glue
- Scissors
- Googly Eyes
- Loose Craft Glitter
- Pipe Cleaners
- Craft Pom Poms
- Stapler
- Embellishments
Directions:
- One craft foam heart will make ONE Valentine love monster.
- Just like you would decorate a face, have children think of how they would decorate their craft foam heart like a monster face.
- First you will want to bend in half and twist your pipe cleaner for the antennas.
- Staple it on the top of the craft foam heart, preferably on the back for a seamless look.
- Next grab your cardstock and scissors.
- Cut out facial features from it. We did pointy triangular teeth and scallop punched eyes. Children can also cut out funky ears, hair, noses etc.
- To finish off your Craft Foam Love Monsters, have children glue their cardstock pieces and pom pom noses in place on the front of the craft foam heart.
- Then have them add any other embellishments they see fit {like a mouth made out of glue and glitter} before setting it aside to let it dry completely.
- Repeat for each Valentine monster they/you want to make!
- Remember to encourage children to really add their own crafty spin along the way!!!
- Don’t forget to share pictures with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts
