Dinosaur Arts and Crafts

Dino Bones
Have the children make their own dinosaur by gluing pasta noodles to a piece of paper. You could also use Q-tips for the bones. Cut some in half for shorter bones. Then have them make up a dinosaur name for their creation.

Dinosaur Sponge Painting
Supply the children with sponges of dinosaurs and paint and have them make a pre-historic scene with them.
Or you could cut out a big triceratops and have them sponge paint it using a mixture of paint and sand. Tell them about how their skin was rough like that.

Torn Paper Dino Pictures
Supply the children with a full sheet of white paper with a dinosaur shape drawn onto it and half sheet of green paper. Ask them to make a dinosaur by tearing pieces of the green paper and gluing them onto the white paper.

Make a dinosaur egg using soap flakes and with a small plastic dinosaur in the center. Use a plastic easter egg to shape it or just squeeze it together with your hands. I don't know the exact amount of water to add to the soap flakes. It may give you ideas on the box.

Have a pre-cut T-Rex head for each child or a very large head for the whole class. Have each child practice their scissors/cutting skills by cutting out teeth for the dinosaur.

Stegosaurus Hats
Make a band that fits around your child's head using construction paper. Then staple another strip that goes from the front on the band to the back straight up and over the top of the head. Extend this using more construction paper so it goes down the center of your child's back. Have your child cut out triangles for stegosaurus plates. Crease the bottom of the triangle and staple them to the paper that goes across the top of the head and down the back (tail).
