My six year old Nephew is just nuts about dinosaurs, if there is something to know about them he knows it so I think these clothespin dinosaurs would be right up his alley to make with me! Although he knows everyone there is to know so it could be a busy day making them all

These little guys really look impressive! I am quite amazed at how easy they are to make, yet they really look involved! Another option might be to glue on tiny googly eyes, or to cut out a triangle ridge from contrasting felt to form a spiny back to these critters, even three layers for some dimension. Add some thread or fishline to hang them, or just clip them on! Great idea!
