Hello! I am back again with another Halloween craft project for the kids. This time, it’s a DIY Felt Frankenstein Mask. As I mentioned in my recent Halloween Word Search blog post, Halloween is one of my favorite days of the year. Despite my best intentions, over the last few years, I always run out of time with my planning, so I am getting in early this year. My goal is that by the time October rolls around, my planning will be done and I can simply just enjoy the fun with the kids.
While Frankenstein has always been popular around Halloween, he is also a character in the new Netflix series Little Monsters. Little Monsters is one of my kids’ favorite shows at the moment and the Frankenstein character “Frankie” is on their favorites.
This simple craft is a great one to get the kids away from the TV. It only takes a few minutes to create and is perfect for pretend play or as a simple Halloween costume for kids that are not keen to get dressed up from head to toe for school.
If you want to get a little creative and out of the box, you can also make some mini-masks to use on your kid’s soft toys and dolls. Get everyone into the Halloween spirit. They are quick, easy and cheap to make. Your kids will love the opportunity to get their favorite toys dressed up!
