2 silver or gold paper brad fasteners per child (bolts)
Black and red markers, fine tip
White paper, a small offcut (eyes)
PVA glue or glue stick
Step by Step
Paint the outside of the toilet roll green. Let it dry upright for twenty minutes until fully matte.
Cut a strip of black card the same width as the roll, about 2 cm deep, with a slightly uneven top edge for a flat-top hair silhouette. Glue it around the top of the roll.
An adult presses two brad fasteners through the roll on opposite sides, about a third of the way down, to represent the neck bolts. Splay the backs inside to hold them firm.
Cut two small circles from white paper, about 1.5 cm diameter. Draw a black pupil on each and glue them to the front of the roll below the hair strip.
Draw a flat straight-line mouth with the black marker: a single horizontal line with three small vertical stitches above it gives the classic monster look. Add two small red dots for nostrils.
