Kindergarten Art - Paper Stegosaurus 

The following dinosaur art lesson includes the option to use paint. All artists may use markers or crayons instead if paint is not available. Please use whatever color paper you have available at home. 

Materials: construction paper, scissors, glue stick

Optional: cardboard, paint, markers, crayons

Step 1: Draw a dinosaur using shapes. A triangle for the head, large rainbow shape for body, a long triangle for a tail, and four rectangles for the legs. 

Step 2: Paint the dinosaur parts with a piece of cardboard or color them with markers and crayons. Dip one end into paint and use the cardboard as a stamp. This will create a rough texture for the dinosaur’s skin. Let your work dry. 

Step 3: Create a place for your dinosaur to live. Cut out green strips or triangles and glue them to a new piece of paper to make grass. Make a volcano by cutting out a brown triangle and cutting of the top so it’s flat. Add red lava. Cut out a variety of small triangles to act as plates on the back of your stegosaurus. 

Step 4: Cut out the dinosaur you painted and glue it on the paper. Glue the triangles on the dinosaur's back and tail.

Step 5: Add additional details such as a sun, clouds, and the dinosaur's eye and mouth.
