Awesome Halloween Craft for kids. These Halloween Monsters and Glitter Slime Recipe is always a Halloween Party favorite!
Hello friends! Today I’m sharing my Glitter Slime Monsters! I had so much fun making these little guys and sharing them with my girls over at Eighteen 25 during their Spooktacular Series. I hope you have had the chance to visit them and see so many fun Halloween Ideas and Projects.
The best thing about this project is that the kiddos get to do most of the work. This can fe a super fun family activity, and perfect for a Halloween Party! Let’s make them together!
TUTORIAL
1
Before we start playing with the slime wash some baby food jars
{ we use the two smallest sizes }
and spray paint the lids.
2
While they dry make the Glitter Slime.
You can click here to get the recipe and follow the step by step tutorial.

After the Glitter Slime is done and the jars are full
it is time to decorate them and transform them into monsters.
The first thing we added were the eyes.

Dress the Glitter Slime Monsters up!
We used vinyl to make their hair, mouth and mustache.
You don’t need a vinyl machine for this step, plain scissors will do the job!
We even made some arms for the Little Blue Guy.
Put the lids back on, a little ribbon here, a fake spider and a cupcake liner there,
and here they are the coolest little guys EVER!
…And of course every boy needs a girl.
You are done!
We love them so much that this year my Mimi is going to give them away for Halloween
to her Preschool Classmates instead of candy.
The point is to have fun!
Let the kiddos show their creativity, there is no right or wrong.
This year I have gone Halloween crazy.

These are ADORABLE! I can’t wait to share this activity with my younger brother. He will absolutely love it.
We don’t have any baby food jars, but I bet other lidded small containers from the craft store would work just fine! Thank you for sharing– I’ve pinned it for reference!
Hi!! I love your monsters! and I REALLY LOVE your family rules – or the take time to love your kids post you did!! 🙂 Thank you for the reminders.
question, about the monsters – can you tell me how much slime one container of glue makes? I’m wondering about making these as a classroom project – and I’m trying to figure out cost.
Thank you!!!
It makes about three of the really small ones.
