June - Mixed UP Monsters

These Mixed UP Monsters are such a simple piece of craft for toddlers but the result looks striking.


Here is a list of things that you will need to make your Mixed UP Monsters:
/ Brightly coloured paints, watered down
/ Art straws
/ A4 paper
/ Boggollie eyes
/ Black felt tip pen
/ Glitter
Prep kit for Mixed UP Monsters
Follow these simple steps to make your Mixed UP Monster with your crafty toddler
1/ Pour two blobs of paint next to each other on the paper

Top Tip:  The paint blobs should be about the size of a 10p piece

2/ Use the straw to blow the paint around the paper, creating all sorts of odd shapes and colour mixes

Top Tip: If your toddler wants to suck the paint up the straw then ditch the straw and instead get them to lift the paper up so the paint runs and mixes

3/ Sprinkle glitter if desired whilst the paint is wet
4/ Leave to dry
5/ Stick on boggolie eyes

Top Tip: Using the felt tip pen draw on unique features such as horns, wings, bow tie, brief case, teeth etc.

How much fun was that!!!!
