Footprint Stegosaurus Craft

Here's a simple and fun idea to make a stegosaurus craft from a footprint.

Materials:

• sheet of construction paper(background)
• green or other color construction paper(footprint)
• scissors
• pencil
• glue
• markers

Directions:

1. Have students step onto construction paper and trace their foot.
2. Cut out the foot
3. Glue onto a different color construction paper(the heel becomes the head)
4. Let students draw a thick tail on the toes side of the footprint.
5. Cut about 10 triangles and glue on for the dorsal plates.
6. Draw a face and legs.

Alternatively, you cold cut out pieces for the legs and tail. I think this idea could be easily adapted to make an anklyosaurus by drawing circles or scale shapes for the bony plates on the shell.
