Fork Painted Gruffalo Craft Idea For Kids

The Gruffalo, with his turned-out toes, terrible tusks, and terrible claws, is a legendary creature in the literary world and an even bigger hit among the children’s storybook circuit.

Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler created a character that has not only charmed children with his whimsical and somewhat cautionary tale but also inspired many activities that bring the topsy-turvy world of the deep dark wood to life.

On that note, today we are going to share a super cute “fork painted Gruffalo” craft idea, that can be brought onto the kitchen table before or after you read the beloved book with your little one!

Craft Supplies:

  • Plastic Fork
  • Brown Craft Paint
  • Blue Cardstock Paper
  • Gold Glitter Paper
  • Scissors
  • School Glue
  • Large Wiggle Eyes {two per craft}
  • Large Pom Pom {one per craft}

You can find ALL our favorite craft supplies via our AMAZON SHOP link!

Directions:

  • First squirt some brown paint in the center of your blue cardstock paper. You don’t need a lot. Maybe the size of a quarter.
  • Now take your fork – which is your paint brush and spread the paint ALL around to make the monster’s face come to life on the paper. Add more paint if you like.
  • When done with the painting step, if desired, sprinkle some loose craft glitter on top of the wet paint for extra sparkle.
  • Next grab your gold glitter cardstock paper and the scissors.
  • Cut out two pointy horns.
  • Glue those in place on the paint covered paper.
  • Finally – the last step of this fork painted brown Gruffalo craft is to glue your googly eyes and pom pom nose in the center.
  • Set aside to let it dry completely 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!
