This easy paper plate dinosaur craft for kids lets children as young as 3 and 4 make their own dino from basic craft supplies.

Little boys love everything to do with dinosaurs! They are also at the age where they are starting to want to make crafts.

Older children may enjoy making my Father’s Day dinosaur card which is adorable.
