Hi,everyone!!!
Today we will do an activity that little ones in home will love very much!
We'll craft a monster with a paper plate.
With this activity our children will develop their ability to cut and paint with brush.
- For this activity we'll need the following:
Materials:
- Paper plate
- 6 chenille stripes (orange)
- Acrylic paint (blue)
- Bond paper
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Paintbrush
- Permanent marker
- EVA foam (purple, white & black)
- Hot glue gun
How to do it:
- First we'll cut the plate in half.
- Next, we'll trace on the bond paper, the horns, smile & eyes of our monster. Doing this we'll get our templates.
- We'll paint the paper plate with the acrylic paint (blue or any colour you like). Other option is to use a blue paper plate.
- Now, we will trace and cut out on the EVA foam (foamy) the eyes (as it is a monster, it is going to need 3 eyes) and the 2 horns.
- With chenille strips we'll make our friend's hair. For this we'll screw each chenille strip in a pencil.
- When we have all the pieces cut out, we'll begin to glue them all together with the hot glue.
- First we glue the monster's hair and then the horns.
- Then we glue the eyes,and we add some little teeth. Also we draw a beautiful smile.
- We can add some details to the horns with the permanent marker, (as shown in the picture).
And voila!!! We have finished a cute little blue monster!!!
Here I show my daughter's monster (which she named MOSI) I hope you like it.
Thanks for reading my blog and until next time!!!
