This craft idea uses hand cut outs- so you can bring these decorations out each year and see how the hands your own “little monster” has grown.

Thanks to Hazel, from the West Midlands, who sent in this great Halloween monster idea. Let’s take a look at it…

What did you do?

Collect some leaves.
Laminate them.
Draw round hands and cut out.
Paint or colour the toilet roll black.
Glue on eyes, ears, and mouth.
We used pipe cleaners for the legs.

It was easy and cheap to do.

Do you have any other projects planned?

I make things up as I go along.
