We love the new Dinosaur Craft Book
I'm so pleased to say this book did not disappoint! It is the latest in series of books from Little Button Diaries and we always have fun making several of the crafts. With my son's love of dinosaurs, this book has really hit the mark.
We have decided to make Jurassic Island as our first craft from this book, and as mentioned above we had everything in the house already, including the felt pieces! The felt are leftovers from when I made the Troll outfit!
My son is now of an age where he reads the instructions with me and takes over the crafting side more, although I have to admit, whilst he was happy to mould the volcano by screwing up balls of newspaper, he very quickly lost interest in the paper mache step!
So both me and his dad were left to finish the volcano, he's now waiting very eagerly for it to dry so he can paint it!
What I love about these books is they are packed with How-Tos for when we have art projects for school! Thanks to Little Button Diaries we are dab hands at paper mache now - I just need to get my son to do it!
