10 Craft Ideas to do With Halloween Monster Coloring Pages
Once those spooky finished coloring pages start piling up, put them to brilliant use with these easy, affordable Halloween monster crafts!
1. Ghastly Monster Masks
Cut out the face of your favorite colored monster, leaving room around the edges. Glue it firmly onto a piece of sturdy poster board or a paper plate. Cut out eyeholes, punch holes on the sides, and tie elastic string through to wear your monstrous creation!
2. Creepy Creature Puppets
Carefully cut out your colored monster designs. Glue each monster securely onto a craft stick or a sturdy straw. Now you have a whole cast of spooky characters ready for a monster puppet show!
3. Monstrous Garland Display
Cut out various colored monsters. Punch two holes at the top of each monster. String them onto a long piece of yarn or ribbon, alternating directions for a dynamic look. Hang your festive monster garland across a doorway or wall for an instant spooky touch!
4. Haunted Monster Jars
Cut out your colored monsters, focusing on their distinct silhouettes or features. Glue them to the outside or inside of clean, empty plastic jars or clear cups. Place a battery-operated tea light inside each jar to make your monsters eerily glow!
5. “Beware!” Monster Door Hangers
Trace and cut out a door hanger shape from construction paper or thin cardboard. Cut out your chosen colored monster and glue it onto the flat part of the hanger. Decorate with googly eyes or glitter for extra monstrous flair, then hang it on any doorknob to ward off unwelcome visitors!
6. Monster Match-Up Game
Print and color two copies of several different monster designs. Cut out each monster and glue them onto small, uniform squares of cardstock. Mix them up, lay them face down, and play a fun monster-themed memory matching game with friends and family!
7. Peek-a-Boo Monster Bookmarks
Fold an existing corner bookmark template from cardstock or create your own simple one. Cut out a monster's head or a small, distinct part of a colored monster. Glue the monster part to the top or corner of your bookmark so it peeks out from your book's pages.
8. Flying Monster Mobile
Cut out several of your colorful monster creations. Use a hole punch to make a hole at the top of each monster and along the edges of a sturdy paper plate or a crossed pair of popsicle sticks. Tie string through the holes to suspend your monsters, creating a whimsical, wobbly monster mobile.
9. Spooky Monster Scene Box
Decorate the inside of a shoebox with construction paper or paint to create a spooky background (e.g., a haunted forest or cave). Cut out various colored monsters from your pages and glue them into the diorama, creating a terrifying 3D scene. Add cotton balls for fog or pipe cleaners for creepy trees.
10. Silly Monster Photo Props
Select bold monster features like large eyes, fangs, horns, or silly mouths from your colored pages. Cut them out, leaving a small border. Glue each feature onto a craft stick or skewer. Hold them up to your face for hilarious monster photo opportunities!
