These “Make your own monster” kits are the perfect goodie for halloween party favors or just party favors in general. With an over abundance of candy and sweets he week of Halloween, I decided to put together a fun little craft for my 3 year old’s pre school classroom.

Supplies:
Most the supplies pictured came from Michaels. These all can be found at any craft store, Amazon, or Walmart
Air Dry Clay (any air dry clay/ model magic type product will work. I purchased this set from Amazon because the qty suited my needs for my daughter’s class size.
Googly Eyes in multiple sizes
Pipe Cleaners
Pom Poms in multiple sizes
Cello bags
Cardstock
Stapler
Scissors
Instructions
Putting this kit together is quick and pretty self explanatory. In each kit I included 2 colors of air dry clay, 2 different colored pipe cleaners cut in half , a few googly eyes in each size, and a few pom poms in various colors.
My cello bags are folded to close and stapled in the middle, Then my printables are folded over the top of that and stapled on each side. I did cut 3″ off the top of my cello bags so I’d have less to fold up.
Amazon an Walmart both have loads of air dry clay sets to choose from. Pricing on that stuff tends to vary, so I recommend just looking for a set with a qty that suits your needs. My daughter has a small class, so I bought a set on the smaller side and had enough to put two colors in each kit. But you can totally just do each kit with only one color in it.
I’ve made the PDF printable cards in my photos available for free when you join my mailing list. These print 2 to a page and you’ll need to trim off the excess and fold them over. I used my quilting ruler and rotary knife to do this, because I don’t have a paper cutter. But if you don’t have a rotary knife or paper cutter you can freehand this with just regular scissors. I would print them on cardstock, but if you are in a pinch, regular paper will be fine.
