This month’s Little Makers project is bursting with personality, colour and a little bit of monster mischief!
Say hello to our Clay Monster Pencil Toppers — a playful oven-bake clay craft where children design and create four completely unique monsters to sit proudly on top of their pencils.
From spotty creatures to spaghetti-haired sillies, this project is all about experimenting with colour, texture and character. Best of all? Each monster is totally one-of-a-kind.
Perfect for creative afternoons and hands-on fun, this kit encourages children to shape, squish, twist and design their own mini monster friends.
🌟 What’s Inside the Clay Monster Kit
Each Little Makers box contains everything needed to make four monster pencil toppers:
🎨 6 colours of oven-bake clay
✏️ 4 pencils
👀 8 self-adhesive googly eyes
🧵 Thread for dangly arms
🖊️ A fine permanent marker
All you’ll need from home is:
✂️ A pair of scissors
🪵 A toothpick (or cocktail stick)
🔥 An oven and a helpful grown-up for baking
Nice and simple — just open the box and get started.
👾 What Your Little Maker Will Create
With this kit, children will design and make:
✨ 2 marbled monsters (twisting and blending colours together)
🎨 2 solid-colour monsters in fun shapes
🌀 Creative features like horns, spots, zig-zag spaghetti hair or wrapped rope bodies
🖐️ Optional dangly clay hands threaded through the sides
👀 Expressive googly eyes and hand-drawn mouths
Each pencil topper becomes a tiny character with its own personality — funny, friendly, cheeky or completely wild.
💛 Skills This Kit Supports
Beyond the fun, this project helps children develop:
Fine motor skills through rolling, shaping and detailing clay ✂️
Creative decision-making through colour mixing and monster design 🎨
Confidence by following steps and completing a full project independently 🌟
Patience and focus while waiting for clay to bake and cool
It’s hands-on, slightly messy (in the best way), and incredibly satisfying to finish.
