How to make dinosaur clothespins

What you need:

Step by step instructions

Print our dinosaur puppet templates. We recommend printing on thicker stock for better durability.

Tip: After you’ve finished cutting out your puppet, you can also laminate the puppet parts for longer use!

These puppets come in black, white, and pre-colored.

If your child is planning on making black and white puppets, we recommend coloring them before you start cutting.

Cut out the outline of the puppet.

Also, cut along the mouth line (marked on the puppet) to separate the top of the puppet from the bottom.

Apply glue to the clip part of the clothespin.

If you are using wooden clothespins, regular glue or school glue will work. However, if you are using plastic clothespins, you will need a glue gun (used by adults) or glue dots.

Glue the top part of the dinosaur puppet to the top part of the clip area, and glue the bottom part with the body to the bottom part of the clothespin clip area.

Make sure the top of the design is aligned with the bottom.

Done! Your dinosaur puppets are ready to play!

Isn’t this triceratops cute?

What about this T-rex?

Looks fierce! Awesome!

Flying dinosaurs look sharper than ever.

Ready to chat with other dinosaurs.

There is also a stegosaur dinosaur waiting for you to play with.
