It is one of the largest dinosaurs to ever walk the Earth.
Have you seen Disney’s Meet the Robinsons? My kids and I had a good laugh when the T Rex said “I have a big head and little arms.” Yes!

Many scientists think that the dinosaur did both. Use our cute printable tyrannosaur rex craft template when telling these awesome facts to your kids.
