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
  • Kid Friendly Scissors
  • Small Wiggle Eyes
  • Green Cardstock Paper

  • 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.
