The countdown is getting closer to #1 , I had no clue this post was so popular until I tweeted that I was looking for reader submitted favorites. Many of you said how much your kids loved making this monster craft. Another popular one was our toilet roll Frankenstein, so I added it too !

Stuffed Monster !

I could not have asked for an activity to go better! He loved making this fun and easy monster and has played with it a bunch already. For craft like this that are going to be played with I try to make them before nap so that the drying time is less painful for the ever so patient two year old.

1. Gather your materials . You will need a paper lunch bag, some paint, some scrap construction paper, 2 large googly eyes, glue,tape,scissors and newspaper.
2. Start by handing your child the paper bag, with the flap side down ( that will be the back) and have them paint it.
3. While they do that, cut out a fun mouth, some big eyes and some silly hair. Older kids can do this themselves!
4. Glue the eyes on
5. Glue the googly eyes on top
6. Glue the mouth and hair on!
7. Set the bag aside , rip the newspaper into strips and hand them to your child to crumple.
8. When the bag is dry enough stuff the crumpled paper in!
9. Fold and tape the bottom. I like to use tape because it’s flexible .
10. Read your Monster !
