Craft a mechanical dinosaur costume — featuring a dinosaur mask with a chomping jaw (that snaps shut with the pull of a cord) and matching claws. Then learn about hinges, rotary motion, and fossil detective work. Harness the power of hinges and roar-tation (er, rotation) to craft a big green dinosaur mask with a chomping jaw. Discover the strong but simple science behind hinges and how they cause the dino jaw to clamp up when you pull the cords down. Then learn about the hardest biter in the animal kingdom. (Hint: it’s not a dino!) This unique dinosaur costume inspires kids to learn about paleontology! Read about the dinosaur detective work that paleontologists do and how they use fossilized remains to figure out what dinos were like — from the size of their jaws to the sharpness of their teeth.

Decorate the head with felt spikes and teeth, put on a set of felt claws, and get ready to roar!
