All you have to do is gather up your felt scraps, or if you don't have felt scraps, go buy some felt sheets at Hobby Lobby or your nearest craft store. Felt sheets are very cheap. I've seen them as cheap as 6 for $1. Cut out some monster bodies, and then think of Mr. Potato Head pieces. What would be fun to add to monsters? Here are a few things I thought of:
- Eyes
- Ears
- Horns
- Noses
- Mouths
- Hair
- Hats
- Accessories (cell phones, umbrellas, purses, toys, teddy bears, baseball gloves, swords and shields)
Don't have a felt board? You can make one by duct taping a large piece of felt to an unused cork board or piece of heavy cardboard. In a pinch, kids can just make their monsters on a carpeted floor.
Thanks for the idea, Dyan!
Thank you for sharing my felt monsters. I love the idea of a teddy bears as an accessory. That would be so cute!
