Dinosaurs on the Ceiling

Materials

Dinosaur pictures

Instructions

1. Display dinosaur pictures in the art area.
2. Give the children large sheets of paper and ask them to choose their favorite dinosaur and
draw it with markers.
3. Fasten another sheet of paper to the drawings with paper clips, and cut around the dinosaurs
so that you end up with two of each child's dinosaur.
4. Staple each pair together around the outside edge leaving an opening where the children can
stuff crumpled newspapers inside to make three-dimensional dinosaurs.
5. Staple the opening closed and add a string at the top to hang the dinosaur.
6. Have the children decorate both sides of the dinosaur shape with bright markers.
7. Hang the dinosaurs from the classroom ceiling.
