This is a simple cut and paste paper craft that's pretty much just your basic t-rex type dinosaur.  It uses a toilet paper roll as a base to give it a three dimensional effect.

Materials:

• toilet paper roll,
• a printer,
• something to color with,
• scissors,
• glue,
• paper

Instructions:

• Print out the craft template of choice.
• Color (if using the black and white version of the craft) and cut out the template pieces.
• Glue the large rectangular piece on first to cover the tube.
• Glue on the head.
• Glue the legs and arms onto the side of the toilet paper roll.
• Fold the tail in half so it is coloured on both sides and use the tab to attach it to the back of the toilet paper roll (give it a 3D effect with the tabs).
• Fold the scales in half so they are colored on both sides.  Attach them to the back using the tab to give them a 3D effect.

Templates:

• 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).
