Description
This cardboard craft kit folds together into a bold dinosaur head mask with a wide open mouth full of sharp white teeth. The pieces arrive flat, printed in olive green with a paler green scale pattern across the top, speckled spots along the cheeks and a watchful grey eye on each side. Inside the jaw the card turns pink and deep berry, and small raised scale flaps pop out from the sides to give the skin some texture. Once built, the head measures around 39cm long, 29cm wide and 18cm high, roomy enough to sit over the wearer's head like a helmet.
It is a making project and a dressing-up piece in one. Building it calls for a little patience and some careful folding, which makes it a good way to fill a rainy afternoon at the table or a craft session at home. Once assembled, it is ready for roaring round the living room, putting on a show or sitting proudly on a shelf as a piece of handiwork worth keeping. Paper colouring sheets come in the kit too, with a dinosaur scene to colour in, so the fun carries on once the head is finished.
There is nothing to cut and no glue to find. Each part is printed with numbered tabs, and the head comes together by folding along the creases and tucking the fixing flaps into place, following the paper instruction sheet step by step. The parts are cardboard, so keep the finished mask dry and dust it gently with a soft dry cloth to keep the print looking bright. Packed flat, the kit makes a cheerful present that can be opened and built straight away, and we think it is best put together side by side, then worn with the loudest roar in the house.
