Headband Monster Craft for Kids

We always have so much fun with our spider headbands this time of year, so I thought it would be fun to make a new version. These monsters are just as fun, and I love that kids can get creative with their own monster designs. Make this headband monster craft for your monster theme or your Halloween activities.

We started with some basic craft materials: paper, jewels, googly eyes, curling ribbon, straws, and chenille stems.

Monster Headband Materials

If you have sentence strips they’ll come in handy for making the headbands, but we only head regular paper. I made the headband long enough by cutting two strips and taping them together.  I placed the headbands out with tape, glue, and the collage materials, and the girls got to work.

I suggested that they add the ribbon and paper strips to the back first so they would have room to decorate the front with other materials. They figured out quickly which items worked better with tape and which worked better with glue, and I enjoyed watching them problem solve together as they discussed which craft materials worked best and why.

Creating monster headband

Once they added enough ribbon and paper “hair” we flipped the headbands over. Then they decorated the front with eyes, mouths, and other details.

Once everything was dry we stapled the headbands to fit the girls’ heads. Now isn’t that the cutest scary monster you’ve ever seen! She couldn’t figure out why I kept laughing instead of running in fear.
