Monster Jug Heads Activity

Monster Jug Heads

MATERIALS:

Gallon-sized milk jug
2 milk caps
Plastic deli container
Duct tape
Acrylic paints
Tinfoil
Pushpins
Cardboard
Craft knife

1. Turn over a clean, gallon-sized milk jug and rest it in a plastic deli container (for ease in standing upright, and for making Frankie's thick neck). Attach the jug to the container with duct tape, then coat jug, tape and deli container with tempera paint.

2. When the head's dry, paint bloodshot eyes, cool scars, and a head of greasy black hair.

3. To create bolts in the sides of the monster's neck, cover milk caps with tinfoil and attach them with pushpins.

4. Make a nose out of a thin piece of cardboard and slip it through a slit cut in the monster's face.
