Let’s Make a Dino Card!
Before printing, set select ‘fit to page’ and make sure the printer is adjusted to accept weighted paper/card.
Step 1: Color in the Rocking Dinosaur Father’s Day Card Template
Select a favorite medium to color in the Dino-card.
Coloring is a great way for children to play and explore color in terms of experimenting with color combinations and blending techniques.
The cards can be colored in with crayons, pencils or marker pens.
And if your Arty Crafty Kids are feeling adventurous, why not try watercolors! mine LOVE coloring with watercolor brush pens – they’re a favorite medium of ours and are super easy to use ( they also last forever!).
Step 2: Once all the card elements are colored in, carefully cut the pieces out.
Step 3: Fold the rocking card element in half.
Step 4: Cut along the dotted line.
Find the vertical dotted line on the fold of the rocking card and cut a small slit into the rocking element – this will lead to creating an interesting fold within the card.
Step 5: Create an indent in the card by folding the smaller segment on one side of the card and then again to the other side.
Step 6: Open the card and carefully fold the small indent back into the card.
Step 7: Next, close the card.
Step 8: Affix the palm tree inside the indented segment.
Step 9: Glue the dinosaurs to the front of the rocking Father’s Day card.
Step 10: Turn the card over and glue the volcano behind the dinosaurs.
The Rocking Dinosaur Card is complete – all that’s left is for your Arty Crafty Kids to write a special Father’s Day message.
The combination of creativity, love, and effort put into making this card will make it a cherished keepsake for years to come.
So, go ahead and present dad with this rockin’ surprise on Father’s Day.
Happy crafting and Happy Father’s Day!
