My 4 year old is currently very into dinosaurs. Last week we played with playdough and imprints. This weekend I saw a stand-up dinosaur on Pinterest and thought that it would be an awesome little craft.
You are able to download the template for the Stand-up Dinosaur Toy from Parents.com.
Material List:
- Cardboard
- Paint
- Googly eyes
- Glue / glue gun
Although the instructions say to use cereal box cardboard I used an actual cardboard box because we do not have any cereal boxes. This made the dinosaurs much thicker but they came out just fine.
Once it was cut out, we painted the dinosaurs and (once dry) used the glue gun to stick some googly eyes on.
RAWR!!
Enjoy your Dinosaurs!

These are fantastic! My 2 year old is obsessed with dinosaurs and he absolutely LOVED coloring them and putting them together. He is actually still working on them right now. Thank you very much for this!

So simple but so effective – I bet they were very popular.

These are really adorable- my 4 year old is into robots lately, so maybe we;ll do dinos AND robots…

Super cute!! I actually think your thicker cardboard probably lasted longer, and I love how they are decorated! Thanks so much for linking up to Discover & Explore!
