Get ready for Halloween by crafting your own spooky monsters! Use popsicle sticks to build a simple triangle frame, then customize it into a ghost, vampire, witch, or Frankenstein monster. It's a fun way to create unique decorations for the season.
A 15–30 minutes craft for ages 5–12, using supplies you likely already have — Yarn, White Glue, and Markers.
GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.
Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.
Create a free GlueStick account to track supplies and see if you have what you need at a glance. Leave your kids tips about where supplies are stored in your household so they can set up and clean up their creative spaces independently.
Place the 3 large popsicle sticks in a triangle shape and secure at each intersection point with a drop of Elmer’s glue or a glue dot. Set the triangle aside to give the glue time to dry while you move on to step 2. *Even better…Do this step the night before and make lots so that you are ready to make all of the Halloween monster crafts you see here!
"I can't wait to make a project with you!"
Put things away so your space is tidy for next time.
Check off each supply when it is put away — and any clean-up tips underneath are done too. You might find a fun surprise!
