So dinosaurs are a thing, right? My kids were really into dinosaurs when they were like three years old, everything had to be a just like a T-rex or Raptor "Come on...eat your veggies like a dinosaur". I thought that they had grown out of the whole dinosaur thing, but then Jarassic World reignited their passion all over again and dinosaurs are all the rage in our house.
So it's been a no brainer for me to make the next cardboard template a Tyrannosaurus rex, because in my kids minds he/she is the ultimate of all dinosaurs to dress up as.
