I don't know about you, but I used to love Dinosaurs when I was younger. In fact I still do! Have a go at this colourful activity!

Materials

Method

First you need to find some Dinosaur outlines. A quick Google search will be able to help you with that, like this one.
Print out which dinosaurs you want.
Create a template using your cardboard so children can trace the Dinosaur that they want.
To save some time, cut up three of four colours of tissue paper into small squared and rectangles.
When you have cut out the Dinosaur, or the kids have depending on their skill level, glue squares of different colours on the back. So that the outline is still clear.
Put it on a window and enjoy your masterpiece!

Template Creation

Materials Needed

Method

Fold the paper plate in half, do not make a crease, and cut out the middle.
Stick cellophane on the back so it covers the middle, you use either one or a variety of colours.
Using the tissue paper, or what ever else you may have lying around, decorate the out side.

This one was meant to be like a sun.

Sketch out a leaf on a piece of card, the bigger you make it the longer the project will take but the more intricate your design can be.
Cut it out.
Using your pin create poke through the card creating a pattern like the veins on a leaf.
It is a good idea to start out using either a thicker pin or to have more holes in the middle then thin them out as you get to the edges.
Once you have finished and hold it up to the light you should notice that the light comes through better on on side rather than the other.
You can either finish there or you can sick different coloured cellophane on the back so the light will be different colours.
