Triceratops Dinosaur Craft
(Cera from Land Before Time)

Shhh, don't tell... I made the one in the photo, not the girls *laugh*.  Kaitlyn was in the mood to free-draw some pictures and I decided I wanted to color, so I made Cera while she doodled.  I had loads of fun trying out my fancy new pencil crayons!

Cera Triceratops from the Land Before Time

Materials:

  • a toilet paper roll,
  • a printer,
  • glue,
  • scissors,
  • something to colour with
  • a piece of paper.

Instructions:

  • Print out the template of choice.
     
  • Colour the pieces as appropriate and cut them out.
     
  • Glue the large rectangular piece around the toilet paper tube.
     
  • Glue the head, legs and tail onto the tp roll.  
    • I've done it so she's standing on all fours
    • I used toothpicks glued to the back of the legs for a bit of extra support
       
    • but you can do it so she's rearing up on her hind legs as that is sometimes easier for younger kids.
    • see photo of Blue's Clues to get an idea of what this way looks like.  Close photo window when done viewing to return to this screen
       
  • Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
      
  • Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
