Do you find monsters funny, hideous, or scary? Maybe they’re a combination of all three. In any case, they’re always a fun theme to base crafts and activities on. Especially at Halloween time (although monsters hide under the bed and in kids’ bedroom closets year round, don’t they? haha)

Today we’ve got a round-up of over 30 monster craft ideas both from our own archives and bloggers around the world. Whether you’re crafting in the classroom or at home, with toddlers and preschoolers, older kids or tweens, there’s sure to be something to keep your little monster busy.

    I’m basically a big kid who never grew up and still loves to muck around with paint, glitter, glue and toilet rolls. With the crafts shared here on this website I’m hoping to give other parents and carers inspiration to get crafty with their kids at home – make our projects, or use them as a source of inspiration to spark ideas of your own. When it comes to crafting no rules apply!
