Many thanks to my friend Jen at 100 Directions for sharing this free eyeball printable! Visit her site to download them, and then you can use them to spookify all of your Halloween projects. Speaking of printables, you can also find a printable version of these directions at the end of the post.

HINT: You can make our monster windsocks using this same eyeball printable!

1. Draw simple shapes for the monster bodies. You can use a wide mouthed cup to trace out circles, or cut out blob-type shapes, whatever you like!

2. Cut hair, claws and antennas from construction paper.

3. I even used a handprint to make one of the monster bodies.

4. When I printed these eyeballs off they were a little smaller than I wanted, so I simply enlarged them on my copier.

5. You can draw simple mouths by cutting out a shape from white paper then drawing lines for the teeth.

6. Assemble your monsters using glue.

7. Attach each one to a jumbo craft stick. let them dry completely and have yourself a fun puppet show with your friends!
