Silly Monster Paper Plate Craft for Kids

My kids have been worried about monsters lately so we needed a way to make them silly and not scary. This easy Paper Plate Craft did the trick… now they always have a monster in their room and it’s no big deal. This craft is also perfect for a less-scary Halloween Craft for little kids.


You may also like our Silly Monster Puppets that we made out of a chiffon duster from the dollar store and check out more monster crafts by the Kids Craft Stars (KCS) at the bottom of this post. You can also follow the KCS on Pinterest and Instagram. Just in case you missed it, previous themes have been Ocean Crafts, Recycled CD Crafts, Children’s Book Themed Crafts and Tissue Paper Crafts. 

Here is a funny book by Mo Willems called Leonardo, the Terrible Monster (affiliate link)  and to help the kids even more with their monster fear, we have been watching Monsters Inc. and Monsters University… I am also trying to convince my daughter to dress up as Boo for Halloween so I can dress my husband up as Sully–I’m pretty sure the daddy-daughter duo would be adorable.  

Monster Paper Plate Craft 

Pin me please! 🙂

Supplies:
Paper plates (1 large and 1 small)
Craft paint
Paint brush
Scissors
Glue
Monster decorations (here are some ideas)

Directions:

1.  Have child paint the paper plates and set it out to dry.

2.  Cut the paper plates out in your desired monster shape and glue the monster together. My kiddos wanted me to cut out their monster shapes, but depending on your child’s skill level, they can always cut out their own.

3.  Finally the best part, have child decorate their monster and when they are done proudly display it.

  • Since baking soda and vinegar are always a fun reaction to play with, we made some Fizzy Bubble Paper and watched reactions happen magically as we painted with vinegar ice cubes. The paper is really simple to make and it’s a great inexpensive way to keep littles entertained while being creative.
  • Kids can play while learning about balance. They have to concentrate and think logically and strategically all while having fun.
  • Let kiddos get their hands a little messy with this ocean inspired activity. Gather up things from the kitchen and let them free play. In my experience, anything messy keeps kids interested for a long time.
  • This amazing set of alphabet roads mats provides a fun way for children to learn write letters. They include a practice page, tracing lines, guiding arrows and stop signs, and phonics pictures for bonus learning.
  • Today I have another Recycled Craft to share, yay! Follow the EASY directions to make a butterfly craft that’s beautiful and unique using recycled milk jugs and pens.
  • We are starting out the week with a balance and float water game that is super easy to set up (inexpensive too), that improves concentration, patience, and fine motor control all while having fun. The water needs to be calm during this activity. The Game is to balance ping pong balls on top of floating pool noodles. It’s as simple as that!

    This is really fun! I like how they are all a bit different, and the excess use of eyes makes me smile as that's totally what my son would do! I have pinned this! Found via #pintorials
