All you need to make these amazing dinosaurs are paper plates, tissue rolls, googly eyes, scissors, glue, and paint. Start by cutting the cardboard plates in half for the body.
Cut out triangles for the tips and a head / neck shape. Glue everything together, attach the tips and the head to the back of the plate, and support your dinosaur with the other half of the plate. Cut the roll in half and make a slit to insert the plates. Paint your dinosaur and, when dry, glue googly eyes.
