Dinosaur Crafts

When you think of dinosaur crafts,
don't neglect the computer scanner as a tool! This page is about easy art for kids who love dinosaurs!

A simple scan like these may be just the right thing for a first computer scanner effort.


One dinosaur is perfect for making greeting cards or party invitations.

However, this easy dinosaur art can be even more fun by adding a little scenery!

Follow these step by step instructions:

1. Use colorful paper as a background. I cut-up a travel brochure, and threw away the top portion for this project.	2. Clouds are easy to make. The clouds on the right can be cut from plain white paper or 3X5 cards (as seen on the left).	3. A bag of tiny dinosaurs from the ‘$1 store’ make great subjects! The different colors give kids many options.

4. Place the "earth", clouds, and maybe a couple of cut-out trees face down on the scanner first. Then place as many dinosaurs as you like to create your composition. Over the entire arrangement, lightly place a blue sheet of paper for the "sky".

Be careful not to disturb the dinosaurs already in place.

Remember to leave the top of the scanner up and turn off the lights.

Your dinosaur art results will look something like this:
