Valentine Monster Pencil Toppers
I was lucky to have a crafty life as a kid. My mother was always working up a project for my sister and me to participate in, from tie-dye to homemade Valentine cards to pass out. There was glitter and glue, yarn and chalk, and lots of fun in our home that encouraged art and creativity.
My sister and I especially liked to make pencil toppers out of pom-poms and googly eyes. What can be more fun when you’re a kid than a pencil topper that makes that fun rattle sound and wiggles all over the place?
So, I took one of my favorite crafty projects as a kid and turned it into a Valentine!

How to Make Valentine Monster Pencil Toppers
Glue eyes onto the pompoms however you like. You can have one big eye, two regular eyes, or a whole dozen tiny eyes—whatever you want!
Add a healthy dollop of hot glue to the end of the eraser and set your pom pom on top. Hold until the glue has set.
Cut out your free printables and slice along the line above and below the quote. Slide the pencil through.
Be sure to write who the cards are to and from!
You can make enough for an entire classroom for around $6-7 with inexpensive supplies! And your child can custom-make each monster for each student!
With younger kids, you may want to pre-glue the pom poms onto the pencils. School glue will work well enough to attach the eyes to the poms.
These guys are fun, cute, and a great little pencil to knock out that math homework!
