Plastic clothes hangers

Instructions

1. Copy a Pteranodon pattern onto cardboard and cut it out. This will serve as a stencil.

2. Let the children trace the stencil or draw a dinosaur freehand on construction paper. Each child will need three or more dinosaur shapes.

3. The children can watch you cut out the dinosaurs and punch a hole in each. The older children can cut them out themselves.

4. Cut a piece of yarn for each dinosaur, varying the lengths.

5. Show the children how to thread the yarn through the hole, and then you tie a knot in each to hold the yarn in place.

6. Tie the other end of the yarn to the clothes hangers. Hang and wait for a breeze to make the Pteranodons fly!
