Talking Dinosaur Clothespin Craft
Ruby did it again. She came up to me with this darling little dinosaur clothespin craft that she made for Mac. He LOVED it, and chased everyone around with its little chomping mouth. If you missed her last craft creation click here!
I organized my craft closet last week becuase, after having the kids home for over a month, it was looking a bit worse for wear. We found craft supplies that we had forgotten about, and others that we thought we had lost. Like our clothespins! I KNEW I had a package of them somewhere, but couldn’t find them. Until I finally tidied up.
She had so much fun making this dinosaur that she decided to make a pig too (her favorite animal). You can catch a glimpse of her darling clothespin pig in the step by step video above!
What’s your favorite animal? Chances are you could probably make a cute talking clothespin craft with it!
What Supplies Are Needed To Make A Dinosaur Clothespin?

- Glue: Hot glue is the quickest, but craft glue works too!
- Craft Eyes: Optional. You can draw an eye on if you’d like!
This little dinosaur takes just minutes to make so go ahead and make two of them so that they can talk to eachother!
