So, this
started with scraps. We’ve got crazy amounts of craft felt. I’m a fan of DIY felt boards, so the leftovers tend to pile up. Actually, I stash them away in a
baggie, tuck them into the craft bin and usually forget all about them. What
happens? I end up with a ridiculous number of felt-filled baggies.
The problem with
using the scraps is that they tend to be oddly shaped. There were no circles to
add on as faces or roof-shaped triangles to make houses. What to do with these
bits and pieces?
Well,
instead of tossing them (awfully wasteful, right?) they became sweet—not scary—monsters.
Yep, your child can turn a bag, handful or a few felt scraps into perfectly
adorable Halloween monster puppets. Oh yeah, you might need a few other things
too.
Here’s What
You’ll Need:
·
Felt
scraps
·
Scissors
·
Clear-drying
school glue
·
Googley eyes (I prefer a variety of sizes)
Here’s What
to Do:
1. Trim the
scraps. Or not. It depends on what your child wants to do. She can use the scissors
to create any sizes and shapes she wants.
2. Glue the
scraps onto the tops of the craft sticks. Layer and overlap them to create
hairy-looking Halloween monsters!
3. Glue the
eyes onto the felt. Your child can use one giant eye or glue a group of
differently sized eyes on.
That’s it.
Well, of course, your child needs to let the glue dry. After it’s completely
dry, she can play with the monster puppets. She can create her own stories or
act out a monstrous tale. Don’t stop at one puppet, make a few too!
This is also
an easy option for a Halloween or birthday party. Simply set out the scraps on
a table and let the kiddos glue away. Use a permanent marker to write each
child’s name on their puppet’s craft stick (a washable marker will run when
your child holds the puppet by the handle).
You can also
pack up the very few materials (felt, eyes and sticks), and put them into
baggies to use later on. Easily stash the kids’ craft in your bag and bring it
to grandma’s, on vacation or anywhere else!
Hmmm what a great ideato keep the kiddies busy for a bit! I think this crafty work will be suitable for all occaisions be it just to keep them occupied too!! Will defnitely be using this idea for when i babysit my neice

According to my opinion, kids’ craft felt art commotion is far from the walking deceased and vampires so that I am not interested in these activities. But parents should prepare horror puppets on the monster day. It can be used on the Halloween and Birthday party. Puppet’s craft stick is effective to make horror puppet. Essay Writing Services
