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.

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.

Have a great day!
Such a great paper plate monster craft. I really like that you have used 2 plates for each monster and given them a body :D. I have added your monster craft to our round-up, 12 Of The Best Monster Crafts. You can view it here if you like, https://www.diythought.com/12-of-the-best-monster-crafts/
Thanks!
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
They are amazing! So cute and great looking monsters! Thank you for sharing it with us #pintorials
These are great, such fun painted in bright colours too. #TuesdayTutorials
Monsters are my favorite – there's no right or wrong way to make them. Great open-ended idea!
