    Method: 

    Gather your supplies. Stack the pieces of paper together and using a raisin box as a guide, mark out strips across the page as wide as the length of a raisin box.

    Cut up the strips. I used 4 different colours of paper and cut them all out at the same time to save time, so I got 4 strips at a time.

    Wrap each box in a strip of paper and glue together.

    Glue a selection of googly eyes to the front of each paper-wrapped box. We had two different sizes of eyes and our monsters varied from having one to four eyes each.

    You could also add extra facial features to your monsters, just grab a felt tip or marker pen and draw on mouths, noses, ears and maybe even fur or scales. Let the kids loose and see what their imaginations come up with!

    As Halloween is coming, you could also try varying this idea with all green paper and a Frankenstein monster design, orange paper with pumpkin face designs or try my Ghostly raisin boxes. Raisin box monsters are also perfect for giving out as a healthier, allergy friendly treat for trick-or-treaters!
