Fork painting is an easy way to achieve a fun result without the real need for artistic ability. So it’s great for kids just getting used to working with paint. We still love this Fork Painted Ostrich that we created awhile back. These Fork Painted Monsters are sure to be a favorite, too! And, little ones get to learn about shapes while making their monsters.

Squares, circles, ovals, triangles, diamonds, pentagons, rectangles. All you need to do is draw a shape with a black sharpie on a sheet of white cardstock and make a set of simple arms and legs. I found that 2 monsters work well on one sheet, but you could make a single large monster, too.
