You'll hear lots of screams and squeals this Halloween as kids discover the only path to your treats is through this huge monster's mouth!!
Make this fun project from three sheets of 3/4" thick plywood (not including the optional tongue ramp), a few 2x4s and our full-size pattern. Monster arms and back braces detach, hinged body folds in half for storage. (project measures 72" to the bottom of the teeth, 105" to the top of the eyes)
