What’s Inside the Worksheet

• A cute illustration of a child holding a leash / rope as though they are bringing a dinosaur.

Why It’s Useful

• Encourages Creativity: Children make choices about what their dinosaur looks like — promotes imaginative thinking.

How to Use It – Tips & Instructions

1. Print the Worksheet: Use a standard printer; regular paper is fine.

2. Discuss First: Ask the child what kind of dinosaur they want to draw — big/small, flying or walking, friendly or fierce. Maybe even give names.

3. Sketch Lightly: Encourage starting with simple shapes (circles, triangles) to block out body, head, tail.

4. Add Details: Spikes, scales, horns, claws, teeth, tail, wings as desired.

5. Colour It In: Use crayons, markers or colouring pencils to bring it to life.

6. Share & Talk: Let the child explain their dinosaur — what it eats, where it lives etc., to add storytelling.

Classroom idea: Let each student draw a dinosaur, then display them. Maybe compare sizes, types or create a “dinosaur island” mural.
