Dinosaur Light Catcher

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
  • Cardboard
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Baking Paper (Grease proof paper)
  • Tissue Paper (Various colours)
Method
  1. First you need to find some Dinosaur outlines. A quick Google search will be able to help you with that, like this one.
  2. Print out which dinosaurs you want.
  3. Create a template using your cardboard so children can trace the Dinosaur that they want. 
  4. To save some time, cut up three of four colours of tissue paper into small squared and rectangles.
  5. 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.
  6. Put it on a window and enjoy your masterpiece!
