Clean-Up Monster

Kids will enjoy feeding this garbage monster!

What You’ll Need

2 brown grocery bags
scissors
old newspapers or flyers
glue
paint
paintbrushes
cereal box
old magazines or markers

Instructions

1. Make a hole on the bottom of 1 grocery bag. This will be the monster's mouth. Make it large enough so the trash will fit in it!

2. Turn the grocery bag upside down so that the hole is on top. Push the grocery bag inside the other grocery bag. You won't need to glue or tape them together.

3. Crumple 2 pieces of old newspapers or flyers into balls. Glue on top of the monster's mouth. Paint the newspaper/flyer balls to look like eyes. If you don't have old newspapers or flyers, simply draw or paint the eyes on.

4. Cut sharp teeth from a cereal box. Glue or tape alongside the monster's mouth

5. Cut out letters from old magazines to spell, 'Feed me trash!' and glue them to the front of the monster. If you don't have old magazines, or can't find all the letters you need, simply write the letters boldly.

6. Now feed this hungry monster!

One fun idea is to use small lunch sack paper bags to make a couple of these and put them on your kids dressers so they can 'feed the monster' in their room!

Also make a couple for when you are doing crafts. They can sit on the floor or table and while kids are crafting the bag is right there for the trash. Make a small bag and instead of writing 'Feed me trash!' on it, put something like 'paper scraps' or 'paper monster' and when you are crafting with paper, put the small pieces (that you want to save!) in that bag. The bags are easily customizable for whatever project you would work on!
