Supplies:

paper lunch bag acrylic paint (color of your choice) colored cardstock paper scrapbook scissors (optional) markers circle punches (optional-we used a 3-inch, 2-inch scissors glue

Instructions:

1. Paint front and bottom of paper bag

Paint the front and bottom of your paper bag with the color of your choice. Let it dry completely. After painting the bag I like to open the bag up for it to dry so any paint under the bottom flap of the bag doesn’t make the bag stick together.

2. Create a unique monster by adding eyes, teeth, ears, horns

Use your colored cardstock paper, construction paper, scissors, circle punches and markers to design a unique monster.

Let your creativity take over! Think eyeballs, teeth, fun patterns, pointy ears and horns. I even added a silly tongue and some long eyelashes on my monster. One of my sons used markers to draw a fun design on his monster and gave him arms and long horns on his head. The extra fun part comes after you are finished making your monsters and can watch your kids put on a cute puppet show. Who am I kidding though, I had a lot of fun participating in the puppet show too.
