We like not-so-scary monsters at our house. Scary monsters, forget about it!..but colorful, happy monsters are welcome in my home. In fact, we have several favorite children’s books with happy monster characters. I’ve been eager to use some fun adhesive holographic puffy wiggly eyes and creating this colorful Paper Plate Monster Kids Craft was the perfect combination for such fun wiggly eyes. This is that type of evergreen craft that is perfect year round. It’s perfect for a rainy day, for family night, a play date or even at school.

Supplies you will need:
- small paper plate
- construction paper
- acrylic paint(color of your choice)
- foam brush
- wiggly eyes
- stapler
- glue stick
Directions:
1. Paint your paper plate
Start by painting your small paper plate with the color of your choice. Set it aside to dry completely.
2. Decorate paper plate with eyes and mouth
After your paper plate has finished drying, decorate it with the wiggly eyes. Also, cut a mouth out of your construction paper and glue it onto the paper plate.
3. Create arms and legs
Cut 3 long strips from your construction paper. Cut each strip in half and then bend the strips accordion style. We used matching colors but use as many colors as you want. Also, you may decide you want more arms and legs than we used, so use as many as you’d like.
4. Staple arms and legs onto monster
Use your stapler (adult assistance may be needed) to staple the arms and legs onto your monster.
