For about 5 sessions, I lead the kindergarten group in an art directive using dinosaurs as the point of interest. There would be four dinosaurs to create: Triceratops, Brontosaurus (Apatosaurus), Stegosaurus, and the finale, Tyrannosaurus Rex. Maybe this was my favorite directive. Anyway, each dinosaur was special and unique. Triceratops had bumpy skin (bubble wrap), Stegosaurus had spikes (corrugated cardboard), Apatosaurus had rough skin (sandpaper)...and T-Rex had real reptile skin!

Not really real, but I actually made this really cool texture out of tempera paint mixed with glue. I overlaid a strip of mesh material on the gooey mixture and let it dry on a piece of wax paper for a day or two. Then, a peeled off the mesh overlay created my own reptile skin. The colors I used were bright and all mixed together. I tore the "skin" into little pieces for the group to glue onto their T-Rexes.
