Step 2
Children can begin by painting the dinosaur template using paint, color pencils, or crayons. Remember to paint all the parts except for the eyes of both the lowercase and uppercase versions of the dinosaur! They can get really creative by trying different colors for their dinosaurs.
While the paint is drying, get two popsicle sticks and paint them. We painted one blue to match our little dino and the other green to match our big dino.
Step 3
Once the paint is dry, cut out all the parts from the template. Kids can now arrange the parts of the lowercase Dino and uppercase dino separately.
We used blue color for the small dino and green color for the big dino.
Step 4
How to make an uppercase D for Dinosaur popsicle stick craft?
Let’s start with the uppercase ‘D’. Stick the green popsicle stick along the side of the D shape.
Stick the dino’s head and tail followed by the legs and eye and then draw a smile using a black marker. Cut out small triangle shapes from colored paper pieces and stick them behind the Dino.
Step 5
How to make a ‘lowercase d for Dinosaur’ craft?
Stick the blue popsicle stick along the side of the small letter ‘d’.
Stick the head and tail, followed by the eye and legs. Cut out small triangle shapes from colored paper pieces and stick them behind the Dino.
Our D for dinosaur popsicle stick crafts are ready. Aren’t they so cute?! What makes these crafts even more special is the connection between the letter “D” and the dinosaur theme!
