Learn how to make a dinosaur with our free 1-page printable build-a-dinosaur kit. Make a Tyrannosaurus Rex, which means “king” in latin. The name is quite fitting, since it is is one of the most popular and well represented dinosaurs!
This a great preschool or kindergarten activity for those children who love dinosaurs. Color the T-Rex any way you like, make her green or even purple! Just color, cut and create your very own prehistoric creature!
Maybe you’re just looking to color a dinosaur? Well, our free T-Rex dinosaur printable comes in a dinosaur coloring page! Just simply print and color. So, whether you want to make a dinosaur or simply color one, our free activity has you covered.
Go ahead and laminate
I recommend laminating all of our Build activities. Laminating gives this craft a bit more permanence. Kids can put the craft together over and over again without worrying about having to cut and color each time. I don’t use anything fancy, just a simple and easy laminator. This is the laminator I use and recommend, you literally just turn it on, it heats up, and you’re ready to start laminating anything everything!
I’m also a big fan of the self-sealing laminating pouches! They are super easy! You literally just place your printable in a letter size pouch, run it through the laminator and you have a sealed and long-lasting item!
Also, if you do choose to laminate, stick little self-adhesive velcro dots on the laminated pieces so your kids can attach and reattach easily. This eliminates the use of any messy glue!
Below is what is included in your T-Rex dinosaur download (see the bottom of the page for actual download instructions):
