    Cardboard Dinosaur Backpack

    Looking for a back-to-school craft to do with your kids? This cardboard backpack is the perfect project!

    Just a few weeks left and we’re going back to school! It’s also Nate’s first day of daycare, so we are all excited, especially me! I will have the whole house to myself! Just kidding! (No, I’m not!)

    Sharing with you our cardboard backpack as one of our back to school projects!

    I asked Niko what kind of backpack he wants to make and he answered dinosaur in an instant!

    Let’s make a cardboard dinosaur backpack:

    Materials needed:

    • Recycled cereal boxes
    • Recycled milk caps
    • Paint and paintbrushes
    • Glue gun and stick
    • Scissors

    Instructions:

    • Open the empty cereal box.
    • Cut an arch at the top of both the front and back parts of the box.
    • Slowly close the box inside out.
    • Cut a strip the same size as the opening on the top. Cut small lines on the edges.
    • Attach the strip on the top part of the cereal.
    • Paint the whole box.
    • Get another piece of box and cut into a square.
    • Fold the edges of the square except the top. Paint.
    • Cut out the horns, nose and eyes from the pieces of cardboard and color.
    • Cut long strips of cardboard for the handles. Paint.
    • Attach the square cardboard into the box.
    • Attach the eyes into the recycled milk caps.
    • Attach the horns, nose and eyes into the box.
    • Attach the handles in the back of the box.

    My name is Dove. I live in an enchanted forest at the end of a rainbow. I have a little window in my room where I can see unicorns playing in the grass field at day and magical fairies dancing under the silvery moon at night. I love creating things with my kids and adding a touch of magic to their playtime.
