Directions

Start by downloading the dinosaur card template and printing it out. Once you have the template printed, gather the materials needed for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring this project to life.

Start by taking the eye and carefully gluing it near the left side of the dinosaur’s head. This will give their dino a friendly and curious look.

Next, help them in gluing the belly to the base of the dinosaur’s neck.

Then, guide them to place the heart on top of the belly and secure it with glue. This heartwarming addition adds a touch of love to their dinosaur creation.

Help your child position the arms at the top of the heart on both sides and glue them down.

Encourage your kids to attach the claws to the bottom of each arm.

For an optional creative twist, suggest gluing a few spots on the right-hand side of the dinosaur’s head.

That’s it! Isn’t it easy and fun to make? For more cool activities like this, check out our many other dinosaur activities to keep the kiddos entertained!
