Remember how a few weeks ago we made Blossom Fairy Lights from Egg Cartons?? Well.. we only used the “cup” of the egg carton and I couldn’t resist keeping the “long pointy bits”.. I knew they would make perfect egg carton Monster finger puppets! So, when we had a play date a couple of weeks later, the kids got crafty. We love Egg Carton Crafts for kids.
The process was very simple: paint – dry – stick – play!
Painting our egg cartons!
Our motley crew of monster puppets. Just add googly eyes, glitter and funky chenille ribbon (super tactile and the kids ADORE it, we receivd some as a present)!
The green finger puppet is a little like a dinosaur, don’t you think?
I love their “hats and skirts”! I think the kids did a great job with their Monster Finger Puppets! Yay for egg carton crafts!
