Materials Need: 

• Paper plate
• cotton balls

• Paint
• Yellow cardboard
• scissors

What to do:

• Have child paint around the "wreath". It can be any colour as this is the monster face. 
• After the paint dries, child glues the cotton balls on top of the monster face. 
• On top of the cotton balls, child glues black paper circles (to create the pupils). 
• The white triangles are glues in the middle of the wreath to create the monster teeth. 
• Glue to horns on.
• Hang them in the room, or use them as part of a monster theme Halloween display. 

Hints and Tips: 

• Have the materials ready, so toddlers can create their own monster wreath as well. 
• Use googly eyes instead of cotton balls for the eyes. 
• Have different colours paint for the face, to create colourful monsters. 
• Add a dash of glitter.
