Simple Dino Craft

I am not the biggest fan of crafts. However, a good craft can be a great complement to a children's program, and even the least crafty among us are sometimes compelled to break out the safety scissors and tempera paint.

Today's simple craft comes from Linda in Gouverneur, who snagged it from Pinterest. 

Supplies needed:

• a cheap paper plate
• washable markers*
• two clothespins
• scissors
• one googly eye**
• a glue stick or school/craft glue

Linda's dinosaur.

Original craft from Pinterest. Spikes optional.

*Note from Linda: "Use washable markers. Fortunately, I anticipated that and therefore do not have to finish out my day with green hands.  A green thumb I could deal with, but the whole hand seems excessive."
**Note from Angela: Apparently, googly eyes come with lashes now. I don't know when this happened.
