Materials Need:

• 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:
