ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Vooks Storybooks Arts and Crafts for Kids: Make Your Own Mask! | Monster Be Good
Hi there! Are you ready to have some fun? Today, we’re going to make monster masks using paper plates. These masks are inspired by a book called “Monster Be Good.” Let’s get started!
Here are the things you’ll need to make your monster mask:
First, let’s cut the tissue paper into small pieces. You can choose your favorite color for your monster. Maybe blue or green? My favorite part of the book “Monster Be Good” is when the monster was being silly. It made me laugh!
Now, cover your paper plate with glue. Then, stick the tissue paper pieces onto the plate one by one. My favorite monster is a dragon because it can breathe fire. What’s your favorite monster?
Take your construction paper and scissors. Cut a line for the mouth and two triangles for the ears. You can make your monster look like anything you want. Maybe an ogre or a vampire!
Now, it’s time to add the googly eyes. Stick them onto your monster mask. Look, I’m a monster with one big eye! What kind of monster are you?
Glue the ears and mouth onto your mask. You can make your monster look like a werewolf or even a funny potato! My monster’s name is Potato because its nose looks like a potato. What will you name your monster?
The best part about making monster masks is that there are no rules. You can make your monster as silly or as scary as you like. Have fun and be creative!
If you want to see more monsters, check out the book “Monster Be Good.” It’s full of fun and exciting stories. Ask a grown-up to help you find it!
Bye for now! Have fun with your monster mask. Remember, you can be as creative as you want. Happy crafting!
Monster Story Time: Gather around and let’s share stories about our monster masks! Think about what your monster likes to do. Does it have a favorite game or food? Share your monster’s story with your friends or family. This will help you imagine and create even more fun details about your monster!
Monster Parade: Organize a mini parade with your friends or family. Wear your monster masks and walk around like your monster would. How does your monster move? Does it stomp, tiptoe, or dance? This activity will help you think about how your monster behaves and moves in the world.
Monster Nature Hunt: Go on a nature walk and look for things that remind you of your monster. Maybe a leaf looks like your monster’s ear, or a rock looks like its nose. Collect these items and bring them back to share with your class or family. This will help you see how your monster can be connected to the world around you.

Did we scare you? Today, we are going to teach you how to make these paper plate monster masks inspired by the book “Monster Be Good.” Here’s what you’ll need to make this at home: paper plates, colorful tissue paper, large googly eyes, construction paper, scissors, and glue.
**Step 1: Cut Pieces of Tissue Paper**
I like to make each monster one color. This one will be blue, and mine will be green. Cut the tissue paper into small pieces like this. My favorite part of “Monster Be Good” is when the monster was being wild because it was just hilarious. I also like the part where a monster said goodbye because that seemed very responsible and nice.
**Step 2: Glue Tissue Paper on Plate**
First, cover the paper plate with glue, and then put the tissue paper on one at a time. My favorite monster is probably a dragon since it can freeze fire. My favorite is probably Bigfoot because they seem very mysterious, and no one actually knows if they’re real. I don’t think that Bigfoot actually sounds like anything; I just think they have a lot of footsteps.
**Step 3: Cut Out Mouth and Ears**
With your construction paper and scissors, you can cut one line for the mouth and two triangles for the ears. My head kind of looks like an ogre with its tongue sticking out. Mine’s going to look like a vampire because of its fangs.
**Step 4: Add Googly Eyes**
Look, I’m a monster! I am a cyclops now—beware me!
**Step 5: Add Ears and Mouth**
I’m going to make mine kind of like a werewolf but also half Dracula. I’m going to name my monster Potato because his nose looks like a potato. Oh yeah, actually, he does!
The fun thing about making monsters is there are no rules, so feel free to get wacky and a little scary. There you have it! Yours kind of looks like an avocado. Oh yeah, avocado monster! I am Potato Head.
To watch more monsters, check out “Monster Be Good” on books. If you don’t have books, what are you waiting for? Books is a kid-safe, ad-free library full of storybooks brought to life. Ask your grown-up and start exploring!
Bye! I am Potato Head monster. I am avocado—beware me!
