My kids have always loved dinosaurs. And one of the best decisions we ever made was to have dinosaurs as a theme this year. I’m so excited to come on here today to share a dinosaur craft for kids that you’ll love!
This week we made this wonderful Triceratops out of a paper plate and toilet rolls! And my kids LOVED it. In fact, they loved it so much, I think we’re going to have to make crafts for every type of dinosaur now!
Here is what our finished triceratops craft looked like. It even stands up on its own! We displayed them around the classroom. And my kids loved playing with them too! If you want to make one, follow the directions below.
What You Need
- Paper plate
- Orange paint
- Paintbrush
- Scissors
- Glue
- Stapler
- Print out of a triceratops face – we got ours off Google
- 1 empty toilet roll
How to Make
- Paint both sides of your paper plate orange – do one side, let it dry then do the other side.
- Cut the toilet roll in half.
- Paint both halves of the toilet roll in orange.
- Once everything is dry from the paint, fold the paper plate in half and staple together at the top.
- Cut small slits in the tops of the toilet roll halves to place the paper plate into. Use glue around the edges to secure together.
- Glue the face of the triceratops on to the paper plate
And you’re done! Don’t forget to send me pictures if you make these crafts too! I love seeing how everything turns out. If you like this craft, be sure to share it with friends and colleagues too.
