- The children can watch you cut out the dinosaurs and punch a hole in each. the older children can cut them out themselves.
- Cut a piece of yarn for each dinosaur, varying the lengths.
- Show the children how to thread the yarn through the hole, and then you tie a know in each to hold the yarn in place.
- Tie the other end of the yarn to the clothes hangers. Hang and wait for a breeze to make the Pteranodons fly!
