Paper and Paint Splat Monsters

Paper and Paint Splat Monsters - Kid Craft

Paint Splatter Monsters On Paper

These monsters are made out of paper and paint, making them a fun craft project for kids of all ages!

Growing up, one of my favorite things to “craft up” was Splat Monsters. It’s still a very vivid memory I have.

Back then, to make my paint splatter monster creations, all I did was take a piece of thick construction paper, folded it in half, squirted some paint in between and pressed it together to make a smashed design inside. From there, we decorated it to look like a fuzzy monster.

It wasn’t anything elaborate but I still remember doing this very craft several times in my elementary school years, to this day. Well friends – I’m bringing back this crafty idea from my childhood but “puffing” it up by adding my favorite puffy craft paint to the mix!!!

I love the puffy paint element since it’s in it’s own squirt bottle {hello less mess for kids} and it creates a fun, shiny finish that I absolutely love!

So no need to be scared my friends!!! Find the full Puffy Paint Splat Monster tutorial below! Remember – this craft idea is great for Halloween AND Valentine’s Day for love monsters as well! Hint hint! Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

Puffy Paint Splat Monsters - Kid Craft

Do you have some restless kids? Get them busy creating these adorable paper and paint splat monsters!

Craft Supplies:

  • Thick Cardstock Paper {one sheet per monster – any color you like!}
  • Tulip Puffy Paint {or any craft paint in a squirt bottle}
  • Various Sized Wiggle Eyes {as many as you like!}
  • School Glue
  • optional materials – loose craft glitter, paper craft scissors, small stickers

Directions:

  • First fold your piece of cardstock in half.
  • Unfold and squirt some paint on one side of the paper {I like the Tulip Puffy Paint for this particular step since it’s in a nice controlled squirt bottle} Be sure to keep the paint close to the middle of the paper.
  • Once the paint is down, go ahead and fold/squish your piece of paper together again.
  • Be sure to rub your hand all over the folded piece, so the paint will cover your design nicely.
  • Now carefully unfold your piece to reveal your design.
  • To finish the Puffy Paint Splat Monsters – glue on wiggle eyes and cardstock facial embellishments.
  • Then set aside to let it dry completely.
  • If you like – you can also cut out the finished design and display them that way as well!
