Pencil Monster DIY ~ Halloween or Whenever! VIDEO

My friend Maria makes some great craft DIYs. She made this video the other day and I thought it would be a really fun project. The littles will need some help with this, but this is when I like to put the bigger kids to work helping with certain steps or any pre-prep I might want to do.

And Yes! I let kids use glue guns. After 15 years of glue gun use I have had a few kids with red fingers, but no major catastrophes. Low temp of course. Those cheapie ones at the dollar tree don't get too hot, but they work well.

You know how you find all of these cute projects to do with toilet paper tubes, but would have to save them for 5 years to get all of the tubes you need? Easy fix! Use card stock, in any color, cut it to size and roll it. Staple the top, bottom and middle. Now you have the tube you need!
