Paper and Paint Splat Monsters

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

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!
