How to Make a Monster Art Activity

Use this teaching resource in the classroom to make some crazy creatures.

  1. Download and print the cut-out templates (pupils can share one between the two).
  2. Choose the body shape and other parts needed to make a crazy creature.
  3. Cut out the template pieces and assemble the creature on the paper body or a 3D object like an empty tissue box.
  4. Pupils decorate their crazy creatures any way they would like to!

Grab the Perfect Halloween Writing Prompts, Too!

After your pupils have created their monsters, why not have them write exciting stories, descriptive paragraphs, and informational texts all about their spooky friend? Need some ideas? Here are a few fun writing prompts for Halloween!

  • Write a story about a day in the life of your monster, Munchie. What hilarious or unexpected situations does your monster find themselves in?
  • Imagine your monster going to school for the first time. How do they navigate the challenges of making friends and fitting in with their unique qualities?
  • Tell the story of your monster’s journey to prove their bravery. What challenges do they face, and how do they discover their courage within?
  • Convince your readers why your monster would make the most extraordinary and unique pet. Highlight its qualities, companionship, and why it’s better than regular pets.
  • Write a persuasive piece in which your monster encourages people to be kinder to one another. Share stories about how it interacts with humans.
