This guide provides instructions on how to create a 'hatching baby dinosaur' craft. It begins by explaining the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds, noting that birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs during the Jurassic period and that Velociraptors belonged to this group. The step-by-step crafting process involves printing a template, coloring it with various art supplies like colored pencils, crayons, or pens, and then cutting out the pieces. For assembly, a sharp pencil is used to create a hinge point on the eggshell pieces, which are then attached using a split pin or paper fastener. The guide encourages further research into dinosaurs like Velociraptors, prompting questions about their size and diet. Finally, the finished craft is ready to 'hatch'. The document emphasizes that dinosaurs laid eggs, similar to modern birds.
