After coloring the dinosaurs, mix 1 drop of dish soap with 3 drops of black paint in a small bowl. Next, paint over the entire dinosaur, covering all of the crayons. Then, allow the paint to dry completely.

After the paint dries, use something pointy (but safe) such as stylus tool to scratch designs into the black paint. Next, assemble the dinosaurs and secure them with a dab of glue. Then, cut spikes from colored paper and glue onto the backs of the dinosaurs.
