What a great way to make a dinosaur with moveable parts! Learn about meat eaters and plant eaters and then make your own colourful dinosaur!
This awesome dinosaur puppet craft was made by my momstown kid at 11pm on a Friday night. What on Earth? (you might ask). Well, my son and spent a night at a museum this weekend. A whole night!
Our local museum, the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, has sleepover events and we went to the Dinosaurs one! So full credit to the great staff ROMKids for setting up this great late-night craft.
Materials:
- Cardstock
- Scissors
- Brass fasteners (brads)
- Glue
- Hole punch
- Feathers
- Tape
- Wooden Sticks (either skewer-type or popsicle)
Directions:
Cut out a body, head, and tail out of cardstock. Any colours will do. Punch a hole in the connecting areas and fasten the head and tail on with the brass fasteners.
Decorate the dinosaur any way you wish – markers, feathers, stickers would work too!
Tape the sticks to the back side of the dino – one on the head, and one on the tail. When you move the sticks up and down, the dino moves too!
Put on a puppet show with a group of friends or at a playgroup!
