Dinosaur Pin
Salt Dough
2 cups flour, 1 cup salt, 1 cup cool water. Mix well.
Use mini dinosaur cookie cutters to cut out dinosaur shapes. Could
have children trace dinosaur shapes onto the salt dough using
dinosaur templates.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until hardened.
When cooled have children paint and sprinkle glitter on their
dinosaur pins. Glue on small wiggly eyes and glue on a pin back.
Note: You can find mini cookie cutters in grocery or discount stores
(Meijer, Walmart...). Think Jello Jiggler cutters. Look in the
kitchen ware or jello section of the stores.
Dinosaur Diorama
Each child uses a shoe box and its lid.
Turn the box on its side and glue the lid underneath, letting it
extend out from the box to create a "porch".
Paint the inside back and sides blue for the sky. Paint the inside
bottom and porch green for the grass.
On back wall glue a couple of purple mountains. Make one of the
mountains a volcano with gray smoke and red and orange glitter lava.
Add some wispy white clouds. Add a shiny sun (foil) and a shiny pond (foil).
Print
out dinosaur and plant patterns for your own diorama at Enchanted Learning.
