Decorating the Frankenstein Craft
If you've tried other fun Frankenstein crafts, you know this guy can get pretty creepy (which, btw, is pretty cool). So, let's see what we can do with the paper plate version of the Addam Family's biggest member:
- Make expressions and eyebrows with pipe cleaners.
- Use a black Sharpie or a piece of black electrical tape to replicate Frankenstein's scar.
- Add a suit and bow tie made with construction paper to make the big guy look formal.
Stick shredded and dyed tissue paper on the plate as Frankenstein's hair.
Ways to Use Frankenstein Paper Craft
If your kid is a visual learner, you can use this fun craft to teach him counting. For instance, make a craft stick craft Frankenstein, and ask your child to count the number of used sticks. Or keep adding an extra stick to each Frankenstein to help them with the concept of addition.
You can also use it as a story-writing activity. Make a Frankenstein-themed booklet and encourage your child to write some interesting sentences.
Try sticking magnets at the back of this Frankenstein paper plate craft as Halloween decorations. It'll also boost your child's morale.
