So swing your tails and shake your claws.

- Go.

- The end.

Come on everybody and join me as we make a dinosaur mask today.

So I'm gonna show you some quick, easy materials that you can just grab around the house.

First is a paper plate.

That's right, a paper plate.

If you have a color paper plate, that's just as good.

Okay, so we have a paper plate.

You're also going to need a marker because this is going to help you draw the shapes that we're going to cut out, which means you're going to need scissors.

So of course ask a trusted adult to help you cut.

Safety first!

And we're going to use some paint.

I picked green today.

You can pick and use whatever colors you have at home.

Since we're using paint, we will need paint brushes to spread the paint across our shapes and the paper plate.

So make sure you have some water so you are able to clean your brushes.

Also, if you want to protect the surface that you're working on, you can use a tablecloth like I am using here or anything that you have in the house, 'cause things might get a little messy.

Now the last thing you're going to need is tape.

This will help you put all the pieces together for your dinosaur mask.

All right, let's get started.

So you're gonna take your plate that you have here and your scissors, and you're gonna cut it in half.

So when you cut it in half, you're gonna have two pieces that look like this, right?

'Cause that was once the plate.

Good job!

So now you're gonna take one half and put it to the side and you're gonna take your marker.

And on the plate that you're holding, you're gonna draw two circles and a squiggly line across the edge.

Now ask a trusted adult to help you of course, because you're gonna cut that squiggly line off.

So when you cut across that, this comes off.

That's scrap.

And when you cut this out, it now looks like this.

Those are holes for your eyes on the mask.

And this edge is now starting to look like a dinosaur.

All right, So remember that other half we had right here?

You're gonna draw three shapes.

You're gonna draw two rounded triangles.

Like so.

And then you're gonna draw another rounded, horn-like shape like so.

Okay, now you're gonna cut them out.

Okay?

So when you cut them out, you have now your three shapes.

One, two, three.

Okay?

Here comes the fun part, painting!

Now you're gonna pick one of your colors to paint your mask.

I'm gonna pick green.

So I have green here, and I just carefully spread that green paint across my whole mask.

Okay.

I wanna make sure to cover up all the white, so it looks super cool.

[bright music] All right, now that my mask is almost done green, painting it green, I'm gonna start getting ready to paint the other pieces that I had cut out.

Okay?

So I going to put my lovely green mask to the side.

Let's clean our brushes.

Give it a nice swirl in the water.

And now the two rounded triangle shapes, we're gonna go ahead and paint those yellow.

If you don't have yellow, again, you can use whatever color you have at home.

I'm gonna use yellow.

So I dip my brush and I paint my triangles.

And now for the last shape.

That last shape, you want to paint brown.

Okay?

And so you can now use the extra piece of paper plate to cut another rounded triangle out.

Once you have all of your cutouts, you are now going to paint them.

If you don't have paint at home, it's okay.

You can use colored construction paper, markers, or crayons or simply just use different color plates.

So what we decided to do was paint our rounded triangles, all three of them yellow.

We took our fourth and final shape and painted it brown.

And then the bigger half of the paper plate where we made two circle cutouts, which are for your eyes, we painted it green.

It's now time to put all of the pieces together to make your dinosaur mask.

So you can use tape like we had mentioned earlier.

And if you don't have that at home, it's okay.

You can also use glue or any type of adhesive that you have.

Of course, ask a trusted adult at home to help you.

All right, so let's see what our finished product looks like.
