1. Print the free downloadable template which can be found below. Paint the shapes accordingly. See video below starting at 00:03 🎥 as a guide. 

2. Cut out these shapes. See video below starting at 00:24  🎥 as a guide.

3. Cut three squares of green felt paper and place those three circle shapes on it. You will need to cut the felt paper as per the shape of those 3 circles once it has been attached. See video below at 0:44  🎥 as a guide. 

4. Stick the black and white plastic moving eyes on to the dino heads.  See video below at 1:08  🎥 as a guide. 

5. On top of the dino tail shapes, fold the two small semi-ovals. The same goes for the dino heads. Double-sided tape needs to be applied to these semi-ovals so that they can be attached to the paper roll later on. See video below at 1:15  🎥 as a guide. 

6. Except for the folded semi oval parts of the tail and heads, tape or glue them together. See video below at 1:23  🎥 as a guide. 

7. Apply three double-sided tape to the toilet paper roll, top, middle, and bottom. See video below at 1:44  🎥 as a guide.

8. Using a sky blue felt papers, attach them to the rolls of toilet paper. After that, apply one double-sided tape vertically to each paper roll so you can connect the three rolls of toilet paper. See video below at 1:49  🎥 as a guide.

9. The dino feet shapes should be attached to the bottom of the toilet paper rolls using glue or double-sided tape. See video below at 2:35 🎥 as a guide.

10. The white protective layer should now be removed from the double-sided tape that was applied to the small semi-oval spots of the dinosaur heads and tails so you can attach them accordingly - the dino head on the right side of paper roll, and the tail on the left side.  See video below at 2:58 🎥 as a guide.
