Turn your toilet paper roll into a dinosaur with this prehistoric craft! We are going to reuse this common household item and recycle it into a diplodocus and a triceratops. Before you start you will need to have some supplies on hand:

• Two toilet paper rolls
• Scissors
• Pencil
• Paint
• Paint brushes
• Sticky googly eyes (or a permanent marker)

DINO-MITE Tips before starting:

• A thicker roll won't get as soggy while painting
• Washable paint may require multiple coats, depending on how dark the roll is
• A great alternative to white paint is white corrective fluid
• Draw on the eyes with a permanent marker if you don't have googly eyes

Diplodocus

• Start with a plain toilet paper roll.
• Sketch this pattern on the roll.
• Using scissors, carefully cut the traced outline.

• Open up the roll, then crease the head and tail.

• Add paint and eyes for the final touches!

Triceratops

• Sketch this pattern on your roll.

• Using scissors, carefully cut the traced outline.
• Bend the tail back and pop the horns up.

• On the head of the triceratops, Cut two slits to slide the horns through.

• Slide the head through the slits for a 2-horned triceratops! (We will draw on the third horn.)

• Paint the body and horn, add the eyes, And there you have it!
