Most of our craft ideas are born out of what we have around the house. We happened to have these green paper cups leftover from a party and when I looked at them, the colour made me think of monsters so that’s exactly what we made them into!

easy to make monster craft out of cups. These are so cute!Materials needed:

  • paper cups
  • pipe cleaners
  • googly eyes and/or eye stickers
  • permanent markers
  • tape or glue

If you want to attach legs to your little critter, poke the ends of pipe cleaner through the cup and wrap the ends around (see image below).

making cute little monstersYou can also use a similar technique to add antennae by poking pipe cleaners through the bottom of the cup (which is now the top).

Use googly eyes, stickers and permanent marker to decorate and personalize the monsters.

What I like about this monster craft is that it is very open-ended. Children can use a variety of methods and materials to create a unique little monster friend that will not look like the others. They can even name their monster.

cute little monstersYou can set out other monster craft materials such as sequins, glitter, gems, and feathers to further decorate these little guys. You can attach these with clear tape or glue.

These would be cute to make for Hallowe’en or to go along with a Monsters party.

A few years ago, the kids enjoyed playing in this Monsters Sensory Bin.

    These are adorable! I actually think we have all this stuff already. I know we have a monster book, so it looks like this might be one of our afternoon activities for tomorrow! Thanks!
