Frankenstein Craft
Earth Friendly Monster !
My son is almost 3 and not only very into Frankenstein , he is also in the bathroom all the time. Potty training has been pretty painless but it seems like we are always in the potty, so naturally I came up with a Halloween craft using a toilet paper roll! You could use paint for better coverage, we are out of black paint so we used markers. What I love about this is that when you are done Frankenstein can stand all on his own !
- Gather your materials. You will need a toilet paper roll, a black marker and/or paint, green marker or paint, googly eyes, glue , 2 golf tees and scissors.
- Start by drawing a line on the roll to mark where the hair will start.
- Color the top part black , a trick I did with my son so he stayed in the lines , was to have him hold the other side and cover it with his hand while he colored. Worked great!
- Color the other half green.
- Add a mouth with black marker.
- Add glue for the eyes.
- Add the googly eyes.
- Poke holes in the side for the golf tees.
- Have your child put the tees in.
- Cut the black part with scissors, multiple times for make hair. This is a good chance for cutting practice since there is no need to be exact, simply make cute into the roll.
- We added stitches along the smile after cutting with the black marker. Enjoy!

[...] found this cute craft on No Time for Flashcards this morning and had to share. There are so many crafts and learning ideas on this site, if you [...]
I love this idea! My daughter is always wanting to cut things with scisors, so this will be perfect. I’ll have to think of something to use in place of golf tees though, I don’t have any of those.
This is adorable! My son really enjoyed this. We used broken green craft sticks in place of the golf tees.
This is so cute. I am planning on using it next week.

Love it! We’ll be doing this for sure next week! Yeah, I’m going to have to think of something besides golf tees, too. We don’t have any… hmmm.

We go through toilet paper like it’s going out of style. And I actually have all the other materials on hand, too! I think we will do this over the weekend. Thanks so much for the suggestion.

I love this craft! My little one is also 3 so we’re also in the potty room a lot…He’s even decided that it should be called the “boys room” and that I have to use the one in my bedroom…fine with me!
He’s also going to be Frankenstein for Halloween, so this is perfect. Thanks!
oh…sorry…and I love the monster pajamas and cute placemat!

Love this craft. I am thinking of using it for my son’s Halloween party at school, do you have any kids books that would go with it?
Oh how cute would a whole bunch of these be?? Awesome!
Yes – Inside a House That Is Haunted includes Frankenstein (my review ) SO does 10 Trick of Treaters ( my review)
Also 2 books I tried to get my hands on to review but couldn’t track down in time : Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich by Adam Rex and Frankenstein Takes The Cake both look promising but I have never read them. Hopefully soon.
