* White Cardstock
* Color Printer
* Craft Paint {in ANY shade of color your child wants!}
* Foam Paint Brush

Directions:

* First download the FREE Dinosaur Themed printable above. Print it in color on simple white cardstock.

Paint your child’s hand {their right hand so the thumb becomes the head of the dinosaur} completely and press it in the center of the printable to create the body of the dinosaur. Use baby wipes to remove the excess paint off their hand.
* If desired, add some glitter on top of the wet paint for a more fun look!
* Then set it aside to let it dry completely before you draw on the finishing touches {a face, spikes on the dinosaur’s back etc} with the markers.
* Add other embellishments you see fit, as well as having children sign the bottom.
