🧺 What You Need
  • Printer and regular printer paper (US Letter or A4)
  • Scissors
  • Wide clear packing tape (or laminating sheets)
  • Stuffing: cotton balls, yarn or paper scraps
  • Crayons or markers for the coloring version

📝 Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Print at 100% (turn off “fit to page”). Color the B/W version first.
2
Cut out the front and back along the outer line – the white border is the tape edge.
3
Cover both pieces with wide clear tape, overlapping the strips slightly, and smooth them out.
4
Place the front and back together exactly (colored sides out).
5
Tape all around the edge, leaving about 1 inch open where it says “leave open here”.
6
Stuff with cotton, yarn or paper scraps – not too full – and tape the opening shut. Done!

💡 Tips

  • The drips along the edge are skinny, so cut them with the tip of the scissors.
  • Tape the drips down extra well, since they come loose first.
  • Stuff the body with cotton and leave the drips empty so they stay flat.
  • A little glitter pen on the goo makes the monster look wet and shiny.

🎨 Color Ideas

Toxic green
A bright green with darker drips looks just like real goo.
Purple sludge
Purple with yellow eyes feels like a monster from an enchanted swamp.
Rainbow goo
Let every drip run a different color for a candy-shop monster.

🔄 Variations

Monster gang
Make several monsters in different colors and give each one a name.
Slime target
Gently toss the monster at a target and keep score.
Mini goo hunt
Cut out the mini monsters from page 3 and hide them around the house.

Safety: Stuffing and tape are not for children under 3. Never use real food or scented oils as stuffing.
