Free Printable Dinosaur Valentines
Here is what you need to make the quickest and easiest kid-approved Valentines. This super cool project only requires a few craft supplies.
- dinosaur printable PDF (download link below)
- white card stock or light brown, as shown
- color printer
- scissors or paper trimmer
- plastic or eraser dinosaurs (I found this package of dinosaur erasers at Walmart)
- hot glue gun (my favorite way), glue dots, or twine to attach the dinos
How to Make Dino-Mite Valentines
Download the printable and print in color on cardstock.
Attach dinosaurs by tying the dinosaur eraser on with a little twine. I used a crochet hook to poke through the cardstock and feed through. A bobby pin or yarn need could also be used.
Or for a really secure way to attach the erasers use a glue gun. This is probably the most secure way to withstand a trip to school in a backpack! The glue easily peels from the back of the dinosaur eraser when the eraser is ready to be used.
Easy! These cute DIY valentines are a fun candy-free option that gifts a cool eraser and are the perfect way to let friends know they are dino-mite (dinosaur pun intended)! They are also great for the classroom that has gone candy free.
