Not-so-scary monster crafts

Lots of kids go through a phase where they start to “see” monsters everywhere, especially at night when they are alone in their rooms.

Having them create their own monsters may be a great way to desensitize them.

But even if your kids aren’t afraid of monsters, engaging in these monster crafts and activities is a fun way to prepare for Halloween!

Are you a fan of handprint and/or footprint art? If so, you’ll want to check out this monster footprint art from FSPDT. (Update: broken link removed)

I think these fuzzy wuzzy pom pom monsters from Our Little House in the Country are super cute! I bed my kids wouldn’t be afraid of these monsters at all!

These DIY wooden monster blocks from Adventure in a Box came out absolutely gorgeous – and not scary at all!

This cardboard box monsters Halloween craft from Our Little House in the Country looks like a great way to use some odds and ends.

I love invitations to create! This invitation to make monsters from Multicraftingmummy is a super cute craft for young kids.
