How to make a Paper Plate Monster

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!!!
