Tissue Paper & Paper Plate Dinosaur

This is a great kid craft idea that is perfect for dinosaur lovers of all ages. It’s simple, easy, and most importantly- lots of fun! Try it out today!

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Paper Plate
  • Green Tissue Paper
  • School Glue
  • Scissors
  • Small Wiggle Eyes
  • Green Cardstock Paper
  • Orange Cardstock Paper
  • Yellow Cardstock Paper
  • Pencil or Marker
  • Stapler

Directions:

  • First have your children cut their green tissue paper into small squares {perfect for practicing cutting skills}
  • Take your paper plate and cut it into half. Straight up the center to make TWO equal halves.
  • Reserve one for your dinosaur craft and save the other for another day {perhaps even using it for our Paper Plate Umbrella craft}
  • Now put a good amount of glue all over the paper plate half.
  • Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until it’s completely covered.
  • Set it aside till the last step.
  • Now grab your two sheets of cardstock.
  • Out of the green, cut out a long neck, tail and the dinosaur’s legs/feet. Use a Sharpie marker to draw on facial features on the head piece.
  • Out of the remaining cardstock paper, you are going to trace and cut out your child’s handprints for the strikes. We did THREE handprint cutouts for ours.
  • To finish off the Paper Plate Dinosaur kid craft – simply staple on the cardstock pieces to their designated spots on the paper plate and display proudly for all to see!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
