Hands-on Halloween activity for kids using Mad Mattr compound to make fun and spooky monster figures

Step 1: Shape the base 🟠

Start by molding a ball or oval shape with Mad Mattr. This will be the body of your monster. You can make it tall, round, or even flat—every monster is unique!

Step 2: Add the eyes 👀

Place googly eyes on your monster. One, two, or as many as you like—spooky or silly, the choice is yours!

Step 3: Create hair and arms 🕷️

Use pipe cleaners to add crazy hair or funny arms. Twist them, curl them, or make them stand tall. The wilder, the better!

Step 4: Give it a personality 😈

Use small decorations like spiders, glitter, or pom-poms to make your monster stand out. Add eyebrows, fangs, or even glasses with little shapes of Mad Mattr.

Step 5: Show off your monster 🧟♂️

Line up all your creations and admire your Monster Class! Each one will be unique, and kids will love inventing stories about them.
