- Paper Craft Scissors
- Craft Foam Egg Shapes
- Crayons, Paint Markers, Craft Paint etc.
- Hand-Held Stapler
- Glue Stick or Tape Runner Adhesive

- First things first – print the FREE dinosaur head printable listed above. You only need to print one, on a single sheet of white cardstock. This will give you FOUR DIFFERENT DINOSAUR HEADS for four cracked egg crafts.
- Next go ahead and trim out EACH dinosaur head in the printable. Discard excess paper.
- Now grab ONE craft foam egg shape per dinosaur craft. Cut it in half, to resemble a cracked egg.
- Now take your choice of decorating medium and decorate the craft foam egg shape halves you just made, however you like.
- When done, set them aside to let them dry a bit.
- Finally – the last step. Grab all your various pieces, along with your glue stick and hand-held stapler.
- Staple the two craft foam egg pieces back together to look like a “hatching” egg.
- Follow that up by gluing in the dinosaur head cutout, to the back of the pieced together egg shapes. Your new friends should look like they are peeking out of the cracked eggs now.
- And that’s it! Add other embellishments you see fit before displaying your Hatching Baby Dinosaur Pieces proudly for ALL to see!
