Do you know a little dinosaur lover?  They will love this fun art project from Kate at The Craft Train!  She has a great set of free printables available to turn a pile of paper plates into a herd of dinos.  These are decorated using glitter, but if you don’t have any of that around (or don’t want to deal with the sparkly mess that ensues), you could also paint the plates instead.  Rawr!  [how to make paper plate dinosaurs]

Project estimate:

• Paper plates, on hand or $1
• Paint and/or glue and glitter, on hand or $1 and up
• Stapler, on hand
• Dinosaur parts printables, free

Total:  Free and up!
