Contributed by Leanne Guenther

frankenstein craftSometimes, bigger is better.  The girls had SO much fun making these larger than life crafts.  There's something wonderful about creating a project that requires daddy's help to hold...

Tasha (6) and Kaitlyn (2) both enjoyed this project!

BUT, I know not all of you have the paint or the display space for such a HUGE craft.  If this is you, try our SCALED DOWN VERSION (less time, fewer materials, smaller end product).


You have to have the newspaper and some green paint.  The rest is easily substituted (I've put OPTIONS in red text throughout the instructions).







paint the eyeballsMake your eyes however you want (you can use the template pieces we provided).  This may be a good time to set out a variety of materials and let your kids choose how they want to make their eyes (let them show off their creativity) 

Here's how we made ours:

Craft Templates:
