First, fold the dinosaur head printable in half along the dashed line and cut it out, leaving the top uncut. Encourage your child to glue the head to the top and front of the dinosaur’s body.

Next, help your child take the eyes and glue them just to the left of the nostrils.

Now, place the spines behind the head and body, and glue them on the left side of the dinosaur.

Guide your child to take the arms and glue one in the front and middle of the body, while the other goes to the back and right-hand side of the body.

Finally, open up the card and write a special message inside!
