Dino Diorama

We are gearing up for summer at our house. We can’t wait for lazy summer days and fun times with our kids.

The Crafting Chicks Mother Hen Summer series begins at the first of June with fun ideas to help moms keep kids happy and busy this summer. We love to incorporate learning into summer fun.

We had so much fun creating Dino Dioramas, with my dino loving kids.

I can’t wait to share this craft with you today!

We created some Dino Dioramas with our favorite prehistoric creatures. It was fun to add items to their “habitat” and create the dinosaur surroundings! My kids loved collecting parts of this from our backyard. I love how they created their mini dinosaur habitat.
