Monster Utensils Kids Craft

This Halloween-inspired craft uses utensils like spoons, forks, and sponges to create fun and happy monster prints. 

If your child is too young to differentiate between fantasy and reality, you can call them 'colorful blobs' or 'explosions of color' instead of monsters.
