    The Dollar Tree is a great place to head to when you are looking for craft supplies for the kids. The fact that everything is $1 is THE BEST! They have pool noodles and all the odds and ends you will need to make this project, and several others.

    You can also hit up Walmart. They have these Horizon Group Craft Supplies in the craft department for very reasonable. The kids can put together their own supply bin for under $10 and it will keep them busy all summer long!

    Kids Craft Tips

    Kid crafting with pool noodle

    When you are helping your kids with a craft there are a few tips to remember.

    • Be Patient - Their attention span might not be long.
    • Let them Create - While their craft may not be perfect, it is theirs. Encourage them to be creative.
    • Keep it Age Appropriate - Every child is different. Don't expect them to do a craft that might not be appropriate for their age.
    • Have Fun! - Turn on music. Be goofy. Craft with them. Most importantly, make memories with your child.

    • These monsters do not have to sit up. They can be made long ways too!
    • The more eyes the better.
    • Pipe cleaners, feathers, and bendy straws stick right into the pool noodle for easy assembly.
    • Craft glue works just as well as hot glue, it just takes longer to dry.
