The boy asked if we could put dinosaurs on the Christmas tree. I’m always happy to oblige, and we gave them a bit of festive sparkle too.
I had a load of little plastic dinosaurs I used as party favours left over from a birthday party earlier in the year. I picked them up on Amazon for a couple of quid.
What you’ll need for your festive dinos:
PVA glue
Paintbrush
Ribbon
Scissors
Glitter
Tie a ribbon around the middle of each dinosaur and tie another knot at the top to make a hanging loop.
Using a brush, cover the dinosaur and ribbon around its body with PVA glue.
Drench in glitter.
Lift out carefully and place on a tray to dry. Tip the excess glitter back in the pot to use again.
Once dry, hang on a tree!
Little plastic dinosaurs (about 1 inch height).
Ribbon, glitter and scissors. You’ll also need PVA glue and a paintbrush.
Tie a ribbon around the dinosaur’s middle and knot the top to make the loop to hang with.
The ribbon on the dinosaur’s body will get covered with PVA glue and glitter.
Cover the dinosaur and ribbon tied around the body in PVA glue (this dino was a test with no ribbon).
There’s a dinosaur under there! Cover the dino in glitter. Lift out carefully and stand on a tray to dry.
