Watercolour Monster Flashcards

Make your very own monsters with this brilliant craft! You can label them with different emotions to help you express how you feel. 

What you will need

You will need: 

  • White paper 
  • Bright non-toxic watercolour paints 
  • Paper straws 
  • Self-adhesive googly eyes 
  • Newspaper or a plastic sheet/tablecloth 

How to do it

  1. Mix your watercolour shade of choice with water. 
  2. Dribble a big bright blob of paint right onto the middle of a sheet of white paper. 
  3. Before the paint dries, blow onto it through a straw to move it around, creating a crazy shape. 
  4. Wait for your monster shape to dry. 
  5. Stick on some googly eyes. 

Do any of your monsters remind you of a certain feeling? We’ve chosen “joy”, “anger” and “anxious” – but feel free to decide on your own!
