Paper Plate Pumpkin Monster - Kid Craft

Get creative with the kids this weekend! Let them show off their artistic talents and make some adorable paper plate pumpkin monsters.

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Paper Plate
  • Orange Craft Paint
  • Brown Craft Paint
  • Paint Brushes
  • Scissors
  • Stapler
  • Black Cardstock Paper
  • Pencil or Pen
  • Purple Cardstock Paper
  • Brown Cardstock Paper
  • Green Pipe Cleaner
  • Wiggle Eyes

Directions:

  • First things first – have children paint their paper plate completely ORANGE.
  • Add some brown paint for dimension.
  • Once done, set aside to let it dry a bit.
  • Now grab your purple, black and brown cardstock.
  • Out of the purple cardstock, cut out a large circle that will be the “monster” of your craft. You don’t want it to be bigger than your paper plate though. Set aside.
  • Out of the black cardstock, trace and cut our your child’s handprint.
  • Out of the brown cardstock, trim out a rectangular stem for the pumpkin.
  • Set all the cardstock pieces you just cut out, aside.
  • Grab your painted paper plate and scissors. We are going to cut it in half but not directly in the center. You will want to cut so you create a small pumpkin “lid” for your monster to lift up and sneak out of. Use our picture for an example.
  • Now grab the stapler. Stapler the paper plate pieces back together but in a slight angle so it looks like the pumpkin is opening up.
  • Grab the black cardstock handprint. Hold it in half and staple it to the paper plate, to look like a hand is creeping out of the pumpkin.
  • Next staple the monster piece in place. Add the eyeballs to bring it to life.
  • Finally – take the green pipe cleaner and curl it to look greenery for the pumpkin. Along with the brown cardstock stem, staple those two pieces to the paper plate.
  • Add other embellishments you see fit before displaying proudly!

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!
