Paper Plate Diplodocus
Kids can transform some basic craft supplies into this super paper plate
diplodocus. We had fun with the bubble wrap painting, too! Doesn't he look
great?
Paper Plate Diplodocus - complete!
You will need:
Paper plate
Green card

2 split pins (paper fasteners)
Stapler
Instructions:

Paper plate diplodocus - head detail
Fold the plate in half. Open out again, and along the fold make four holes
with a pencil (younger children should ask an adult to do this bit).
Make a hole at the top of each leg with a hole punch. Thread a piece of
elastic through each leg and tie tightly. Thread the other ends of the elastic
through the holes in the plate and knot.
Paper plate diplodocus - legs and tail detail
Fold your plate in half and staple the two sides together.
Make a hole either side of the plate and in the ends of the tail and neck.
Attach the tail and neck to the body with split pins.
Draw on a face. If you would like to hang your diplodocus, make a hole at the
top of the body and tie some elastic through to make a loop.
