Making a dinosaur....

Trevor got an Eyewitness Dinosaur kit for Christmas. The kit included a plaster mix that we poured into moulds (hm) and allowed to dry. Then we popped them out and pieced our dino together while reading about how dino bones are found. Trevor drew a dino scene on paper to make our bones look cool. However, we didn't actually realize how big the finished product would be. We ran out of room piecing him together and left off the end of his tail.


Contemplating the puzzle that needs to be put together. All those bones did look pretty confusing.


Starting to piece it together. He needed a little help.


We glued the pieces to the paper and then he painted it.


Almost done! I have to admit, we haven't completely finished it yet. Trevor got distracted because the girls wanted me to read to them. So he moved back and forth between his dinosaur and being read to. Then he moved onto another activity with a promise to finsh this one. We'll finish it this week and find a place to display him. He's pretty neat! I liked this kit, we learned lots and it was fun to do. I would definitely get more eyewitness kits.
