Use what you've learned by making some dinosaur models. Family members can make clay by mixing 2 parts flour with 1 part salt and 1 part water. Knead the dough until soft and then model it into dinosaur shapes. For some easy-to-assemble dinosaur models that the whole family can decorate, visit the Web site Download-a-Dinosaur at http://www.rain.org/~philfear/download-a-dinosaur.html. In addition to the patterns, all you will need is glue, safety scissors, and crayons.
