Paper Bag Dinosaur Craft
Who’s ready to have a roaring good time with our easy Paper Bag Dinosaur Craft? I’m raising my hand and I hope you are, too, because these dinosaurs are so rawr-somely fun!
Get your paper lunch bags ready and some paint for this fun and simple craft. The rest of what you need is cardstock that you cut in triangles. And that makes a dinosaur! Rawr!
Paper Bag Dinosaur Craft
To make this dinosaur craft you will need brown paper lunch bags, acrylic paint, cardstock in yellow or orange, small googly eyes, a black marker, scissors, and a glue stick.
Easy Dinosaur Craft Step by Step Directions
Begin with a brown lunch bag and the paint color of your choice for the dinosaur. We chose green and purple for our dinosaurs.
Paint the bag. Let the paint dry completely.
While the paint is drying, cut some good sized triangles from yellow or orange cardstock for the spikes going down the dinosaurs back. You could, again, use any color you’d like. You could also make these triangles any size you want.
Now, with the bag dry, glue the larger triangles along the side of the bag. It’s ok if you need some to overlap.
Also cut a bunch of smaller triangles from the white cardstock or paper.
Then, glue the smaller triangles under the flap, sticking out like teeth.
Finally, add googly eyes. And draw two little nostrils with the black marker.
These paper bag dinosaurs are so up-rawr-iously good and we hope you think so, too!
