Brontosaurus Dinosaur Craft
(Littlefoot from Land Before Time)

This is a simple colour, cut and paste craft that uses a toilet paper roll to give it a three dimensional effect.  It's a lot of fun to make for a dinosaurs theme or just for fun.

  • Glue the head, legs and tail onto the tp roll.  
    • you can do it so he's standing on all fours
    • see photo of Cera for an example of this method
    • I use toothpicks glued to the back of the legs for a bit of extra support
       
    • you can do it so he's rearing up on his hind legs as that is sometimes easier for younger kids.
