G has become fascinated with dinosaurs. Given my "inch wide, mile deep" philosophy, I have tried to immerse him in dinosaur books from the library. He and I have watched some of the BBC documentary "Walking With Dinosaurs," and I even found a CD of dinosaur songs.
One of the books I reserved from the library was this one.
G begged me to make some of the backgrounds, and so with my Michael's 40% off coupon for display board, old paintbrushes and half-dried up acrylic paint, I set to work.

My final commission is a dinosaur egg nest background, but that will have to wait until I get a few other to-do items off my list.

My hat is off to you for even TRYING something like that! i am incredibly lazy when it comes to doing crafts with/for my kids. It's one of my least favorite things to do.
I'm sure G was thrilled with it, wasn't he? (At least for five minutes, which is about how long an almost-4-year-old stays thrilled with any plaything...)
You are very talented! And what a great mom thing to do Carrie - color me impressed!
