How To Make:
To begin making this science craft, download and print out the dinosaur templates. (Click on the pencil below) Next, cut the templates out and trace them onto cardboard. Then, cut the cardboard out.
After cutting out the dinosaurs, color the cardboard with crayons. To make it colorful, use lots of different colors.
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.
This Dinosaur Scratch Art Project is a fun craft for your kids to create and play with when learning all about dinosaurs.
