Materials

  • Cardboard tubes
  • Colored paper in green, orange, black and purple
  • Googly eyes
  • Glue stick
  • Scissors
  • Tape optional
  • Frankenstein craft template download form located at the end of this post

Instructions

  • Download the Frankenstein craft template, print, and cut out the pieces.
  • Assemble Frankenstein's clothes by gluing the purple shirt to the middle of the orange jacket. Glue the completed clothes to the bottom of the Frankenstein body.
  • Take Frank's hair and glue it to the top of his body.
  • Now take the completed body section and glue or tape it to the cardboard tube. FYI, he's a little taller than our toilet paper roll was, so we lined it up on the bottom and let it hang over on the top.
  • Take your googly eyes and glue them between Frankenstein's hair and nose.

Finish him off by gluing on his bolts. For very young children, you can skip this step and be done. If you do want to make bolts there are two options:

  • Use the bolt template in the download. These are small and an adult will likely need to cut them out and help glue them on for the child.
  • Use pipe cleaners to make the bolts. To do this, we made an oval on one end of the pipe cleaner, looped the tail around, and then flattened it to look like a bolt. Cut off the rest of the pipe cleaner to leave a 1" tail to glue onto Frankenstein.
