Secure pieces with glue and allow to dry.
Add pupils to the eyes and a nose with black marker.
Frankenstein Paper Plate
Start by painting your paper plate light green and black.
Give him a jagged hairline. Allow dry time.
Cut the eyes, tooth and mouth pieces from black and white paper. Use glue to secure the pieces to the plate.
Make sure the paint has dried, then use black marker to add pupils to the eyes and a scar with stitches to his forehead.
Witch Paper Plate
Prep by painting a plate light green.
Cut white, black and green paper to create shapes for eyes, noses and mouths. Cut hats from black paper.
Secure black yarn with glue to create hair. If you don't want to mess with yarn, replace with paper hair.
Jack-o'-Lantern Paper Plate
Start by painting your paper plate orange (bonus points for including multiple shades of orange for different pumpkins).
Cut brown paper to make a stem.
Cut black paper to create jack-o'-lantern faces. Secure with glue.
