How do you turn a handprint into a cool dinosaur birthday invitation?

Paint your child's hand green, blue or pink, apart from the fingertips, and then press the hand firmly onto white paper. For a dinosaur head, you will need a left and a right handprint. If your child doesn't have that much time, you can trace the hand once, transfer it to colored paper and cut it out as often as you like.

As soon as the watercolor has dried, you can cut out the handprints and then place two on top of each other so that the fingertips form the dinosaur horns. This works best if the thumbs are pointing inwards. Stick the two handprints together.

Choose a suitable dinosaur head from the print template, cut it out and stick it onto the handprints. If you like, you can carefully cut into the mouth and push the dinosaur tongue through from behind. Stick the dinosaur head onto a piece of colored paper measuring 15 x 15 cm.

Stick the invitation text on the back, which you can find in the print template. You can decorate the front and back of the invitation as you wish, for example with cut-out triangles that you stick to the edges.

Now the dinosaur party can begin! The little dinosaur heads also make wonderful caketoppers by sticking them on toothpicks. Or you can stick them on sandwich bags for the small birthday gifts. You can also use them to decorate the birthday crown.
