| Roar! I'm a scary dinosaur! |
You will need:
- Foam board
- Paint
- Glue
- Glitter, sequins, etc
- Googly eyes
- Clothespins (2 per dinosaur)
- Craft knife or box cutter
How to:
- Cut dinosaur shapes out of the foam paper using a craft knife. I say craft knife, because although cutting foam paper is pretty easy, a box cutter just doesn't make a nice edge. I was too cheap to buy a craft knife, but if you have one use it. Keep the design simple and keep it hands and legs free. (The clothespins become the arms and legs.)
- Paint dinosaur shapes.
- Once dry, decorate dinosaur with glitter, sequins and sparkles.
- Add googly eyes.
- Set clothespins in place as arms and legs. Leg clothespins should be able to stand dinosaur up.
Thoughts:
For Elliott's 3rd birthday (a dinosaur party), I had this craft set up as a "warm-up" activity for anyone who was interested, which was, surprisingly, only one child. (And him being the one who was LEAST into arts and crafts!) Of course, I had also forgot to hide all of Elliott's toys before the party guests came over, so the boys were all a bit distracted. Elliott finished his after the party was over, but it was not the hit I thought it would be.

| Elliott's friend, Jack, who really isn't in to arts and crafts really got into this project! |
Elliott's Evaluation:
I don't remember making this. Did I like it? Do we still have it?
