Step 1

First you will need to paint your balls.  This can be a little messy but fun! Hint: Let them dry resting on a few pins pushed into a scrap of cardboard or on the empty spaces on  an upside down egg carton.

Step 2

Once your painted ping pong balls are dry you can add the eyes! Use glue to attach as many (or as few) as you want!

Note: If you use hot glue an adult will have to help but they will be ready to play almost instantly!

Step 3

Next, pieces of pipe cleaners can be bent and glued on to create arms, legs, and hair.  

Hint: You will need at least three legs in order for your monsters to stand up.

Step 4

After the glue is dry you’re ready to play!

I hope you and your kids have as much fun as we did with this simple monster craft. Create and play with your very own monster mash!
