Kids either love monsters or they are terrified of them. The good news? These monster binoculars are perfect for both types of kids! After crafting the binoculars from toilet paper rolls, construction paper, pom poms, and pipe cleaners, you can decide how to use them based on your kid’s preferences!
Got a kid who loves monsters? Use the binoculars to “find” hidden monsters. You can even print out little pictures of monsters to hide around the house!
Got a kid who is terrified of monsters? Use the binoculars to show them that there are no monsters! Whenever they are scared, they can look through their monster binoculars to show them no monsters are around. It’s a great way to help calm an anxious kid.
