Dino Craft

Make your very own dinosaur out of egg cartons! Whether you make him ferocious or kind, he’ll be great at protecting your most special treasures inside his egg-carton body.

You Will Need:

(Makes one dinosaur)

• 3 six-pack egg cartons (the inside supports between egg holders must be tall)

• Scissors

• Masking tape

• Paintbrushes

• Acrylic craft paints

Directions

1. Cut out four of the inside supports from two of the egg cartons. These will be the legs. Use masking tape to attach each support (narrow tip facing down) to an egg holder on the underside of the third egg carton, the dinosaur’s body.

2. Cut out one more support from one of the egg cartons. This will be the tail. Tape it onto one end of the carton’s lid.

3. To make the dinosaur’s head, cut out one of the egg holders from a carton’s underside. Tape it onto the front of the dinosaur’s body. Carefully cut the mouth in half so that the carton can still open.

4. Cut out two egg holders. Tape them onto the top of the carton so they are the bumps on the dinosaur’s back.

5. Paint your dinosaur whatever colors you choose. Don’t forget to paint the dino’s underside and the inside of his mouth!
