Cardboard Tube Monsters Halloween Craft

Warming up for Halloween with these cute little monsters :)

This Halloween is special. Why? Because my daughter is now two years old and this is the first Halloween where she can actually understand and participate in all the Halloween hoopla!

Now, she is too young for the seriously spooky things so I decided to introduce Halloween to her with these cute little cardboard tube craft monsters!

She knows that humans have two eyes, no horns, and regular teeth. So, seeing these outliers (one or three eyes, horns, saw-shaped teeth), she immediately gathered she was looking at some weird creatures that we happen to call monsters.

But, since they look funny and harmless she had a great time making this craft and then playing with these little new friends of her.

How To Make Paper Lantern Craft

Fall kicks off the festival season. We got thinking about how to welcome the festivals and create crafts to celebrate them. We thought “what’s common across the two big festivals - Christmas and Diwali”? And, the answer came back “lights”! Interesting isn’t it?

Lights are such a huge part of celebrating major festivals. So, we made the paper lantern craft or paper luminaries using paper, popsicle sticks and some mandala art.

Learning about festivals and celebrating them with your kids is so much fun. These are days that kids look forward and form long-term happy memories around.

Making a craft that can symbolize festivals helps them develop an understanding of customs, culture, and tradition. While, also exercising their creative neurons for visualizing, conceiving and implementing ideas.

Happy Festival Season! May the light be with you.
