Directions:
- Download and print the monster template. Cut the template out.
- Trace the monster onto a piece of construction paper and cut out.
- Roll pieces of clear tape and stick to the back of the monster. Stick the monster onto the center for the creativity canvas.
- Pour each one of the paint colors on a paper plate.
- Fold up a paper towel. Dip the paper towel into one paint color and dab on the canvas. Repeat this multiple times. Make sure you are covering the canvas, monster and the edges of the construction paper monster. Open the paper towel and refold dip and dab a new color on the canvas. The paper towel method gives you a fun texture.
- Next dip a paint brush in a color of your choice and press the brush on to the canvas.
- Now use the end of the paint brush. Dip it in a color of paint and use it to stamp dots around the canvas.
- Next dip a brush into a color of paint. Make sure to get a lot of paint on the brush. Use your finger to flick the paint from the brush on to the canvas.
- Repeat steps 5-8 changing colors until the canvas and monster are covered with paint.
- Let the canvas dry.
- Once the canvas is dry carefully pull the construction paper monster off the canvas. Keep the monster intact because you can create a bonus project with it! You will reveal the outline of the monster.
- Draw eyes and a mouth in the white space on the canvas.
- Take the monster you pulled off and stick it to a black piece of construction paper. Decorate the paper with the gel markers!
