Standing Dinosaur

Posted 2014-01-10 by Oxford Explorer ⇒ follow
Aren't these just the cutest way to say "I love You" on Valentine's Day? They are so easy for children of all ages to make, and just require a little patience with waiting for the paint to dry. We made very simple peg dollies, however you could make them more elaborate with red wings or a cheeky pointy hat perhaps.

Happy Valentine's Day


Time: 20 minutes (plus paint drying time)
Age: Any Age
Level: Easy

Materials
  • Wooden peg dolly
  • Paint brush
  • Red paint
  • Brown paint
  • Marking pen (optional)
  • Red ribbon

    • Blank wooden pegs


    Method

  • Take one wooden peg dolly and carefully paint the hair any design/color you like. We used a basic square face for simplicity, but you could make it quite unique or maybe even glue some colored wool on for hair?

    • Paint the hair


  • Allow the hair to dry, then paint the body. This peg dolly is especially for Valentine's Day, so she will be obviously red.

    • Paint the body and face


  • Allow the body to dry before painting on her eyes and a mouth. If painting eyes sounds a little tricky, you could also try using a marking pen or even a biro pen.

    • Tie a bright red ribbon bow


  • Tie a bright red ribbon around your peg dolly's waist with a generous bow and add a heart if you wish.

  • Offer your little peg dolly to someone you love on Valentine's Day - Mum, Dad or even Grandma?
