Monster Money Box

This little guy will look after all your dollars and cents. He'll guard your savings while you're out and be the cute little incentive you need to save up all your pocket money!

Search terms: alien, outer space, creature, savings.

  • Step 1Begin by giving your monster a coat of white paint. Allow to dry. This is not essential but provides a good base for painting.
  • Step 2Paint your alien bright colours. Allow to dry.
  • Step 3Use a pair of scissors to poke two holes on either side of your money box. Poke a 8cm length of chenille stem into each hole. Fold the remaining length in half and poke into the slot of your lid.
  • Step 4Glue two wiggle eyes onto the front of your box. Allow to dry.
  • Step 5Use a marker to draw a toothy smile. Use white paint to fill in the teeth. Allow to dry.
  • Step 6Glue foam spots onto your character’s lid and body.
