If your child is struggling, you can brainstorm ideas together. Some kids may hesitate, waiting for instruction, or worrying that they may not make their monster “right.” Some kids will jump right into this craft, knowing exactly what they’d like to add to their paper plate monster. In fact, crafting like this is great scissor practice for preschoolers. Preschool-aged children and older can get creative and cut out their own pieces. If you are crafting with toddlers, I suggest cutting out a variety of paper ears, horns, noses, and teeth ahead of time so they can choose pieces and glue them on as they like. If you are crafting with older kids (kindergarten and up), they should be able to remove the plate’s center on their own. To create the monster’s large mouth, use scissors to cut out the plate’s center portion before giving the plates out to young kids. The big round mouths on these monsters give them the silly and fun look that young kids love. Other fun additions: yarn, googly eyes, pom-poms, pipe cleaners, craft foam (Tweak this list to fit your needs.).
