collage a saurus

Our printed papers are renowned for their bright, colorful patterns! We’ve separated them into themes, such as this one: Dinosaur Print Papers. Use them to decorate your R16035 Collage-a-Saurus dinosaurs!

We first set out the R16035 Collage A Saurus for students to assemble. They simply pop out the dinosaur from its backing and R15311 Dinosaur Papers for students to select from.

Place the Collage-A-Saurus onto a sheet of Dinosaur Paper. The sheet may not fully cover the dinosaur figure so you will have to either fill the rest in with a separate sheet, or use scrap bits from the first sheet.

You can also do both sides of the dinosaur if you’d like! Just make sure to flip it over when you are tracing!

Cut along the traced line.

Glue the printed pattern paper onto the Collage dinosaurs.

Don’t forget to decorate the plant stand as well! This helps the dinosaur stand up.

Thanks to our campers for bringing their dinosaurs to life!

We will never know what dinosaurs actually looked like, but we can imagine! These amazing mysterious creatures were our inspiration for the latest addition to our 2015 product line-up: R16035 Collage-A-Saurus!

The card dinosaurs can be popped out of the flat sheet along with the accompanying stand, which is fashioned to look like a tree or jungle shrub. Paint the dinosaurs a flat color such as white, blue or pink and leave to dry. The fun part is getting students to add their own finishing touches to the dinosaurs using materials such as sponges, stamps and more!

This art camper decided to use a sponge to create a blended orange pattern on this dinosaur’s body. We used tempera paint to decorate the dinosaurs.

Keep the paint in a bowl for easy access and less mess.

Everyone chose a contrasting color from the flat color their dinosaurs were painted. We talked about the significance of the word “contrast” when referring to color groups.

Some students decided to mix and match the colors together, like this dinosaur who got a bit of blue-and-orange treatment.

Once the paint dried, we took the dinosaurs to a walk by our tropical photo backdrop!

We got some great photos of the outing!
