5. Paper Plate “Chomping” Dinosaurs
This craft adds an element of movement, making it a toy as well as an art project. By using a split pin (brad), kids can make their dinosaur’s mouth open and close.
- How to Make: Cut a paper plate in half and paint it green. Cut a large “V” shape for the mouth. Use a split pin to attach a second “jaw” piece behind the plate so it can slide open. Add googly eyes and paper teeth.
- Items to Make: Paper plates, green washable paint, split pins (brads), and googly eyes.
