Cut out the center
Cut out the center of the paper plate or cardstock (1.5' to 2' inches wide) to make your ring shape. It doesn't have to be perfect! ✂️
Choose a monster color
Choose a monster color and glue pom poms around rings. You can use regular school glue and let dry before hanging or supervise cautiously with a hot glue gun (fast drying method).
We use these pom poms for our all our crafts because they come in multi-colors and 5 assorted sizes. It's great when we're working on different projects year around.
Add silly googly eyes & mouth
Decorate with adding silly googly eyes and mouth. Use glue to stick googly eyes and cut-out paper teeth.
For Googly Eyes, we use these self-adhesive googly eyes because they are best option for toddlers because they’re mess-free, easy to stick on without glue, and help prevent slipping eyes or toppling projects early on.
For paper teeth, cut-out 4 triangles (2 big and 2 small) and glue under a pair of googly eyes. You can also use a pair of vampire teeth.
Add 2' inch ribbon
Add a 2' inch ribbon or string looped on the back of wreath, place at the top and glue securely. Once finished, write name and date for a memorable keepsake.
We used a mini command hook to hang on our toddler's kitchen set & it was SOOOO CUTE!
We love to display festive crafts made from previous years and remember the small moments we had with them during these holidays together.
Let it dry and hang it up to spook your home this fall!
This monster wreath craft is an easy and creative way for kids to celebrate the season. Whether silly or spooky, each wreath is one-of-a-kind—just like your little maker!
Add this wreath to your pantry door (for the family to see) or hang over your kid's door for a spook-tacular greeting!
