Make Dinosaur Feet

Before you begin the activity, look at pictures of a Tyrannosaurus rex and a Pteranodon in books or on the Internet. Take a close look at their feet for inspiration for this project! How are they different? How are they the same?

Take two empty tissue boxes. Use the duct tape to create the right size opening for each foot. This ensures that your child's foot fits inside without slipping and also reinforces the box.

Decorate by painting or gluing tissue paper to the boxes. Allow them to dry.

Once dry, cut triangles out of a sponge, craft foam, or cardboard — six triangles for a T. rex and eight triangles for a Pteranodon. These will be the dinosaurs’ toes.

Glue three triangles to the front of each tissue box for T. rex feet or four triangles to the front of each tissue box for Pteranodon feet. Time to roam the house!
