Aside from pterodactyl toys and plush animals, I wanted to come up with a printable pterodactyl template idea that they could make and then use for their imaginative play.
This pterodactyl puppet is simple to make and just requires common materials.
Bring out your crayons, scissors, glue, and popsicle sticks, and print off a copy of the printable pterodactyl template.
Begin by coloring the pterodactyl, or leave it uncolored if your kids prefer.
After that, cut out the pterodactyl outline.
Use glue to attach a popsicle stick to the back of the pterodactyl.

3. Paper Plate Pterodactyl
When creating printable pterodactyl template ideas, I always consider using simple household items that I can make myself.
It is also important to teach our children that we don’t need expensive materials to make beautiful crafts.
In this printable pterodactyl template idea, we will simply need a paper plate, construction paper, scissors, and glue to produce a paper plate pterodactyl.
Cut the paper plate in half to start.
This will be the pterodactyl wings.
Draw and cut out different pterodactyl body parts, such as the head and legs, on construction paper.
Use glue to attach them to the paper plate.
You can use the paper plate pterodactyls to decorate their rooms or hang them on the wall with other dinosaur collectibles.

Or do you just want to dress up your kids this weekend?
This flying dinosaur costume will mesmerize your kids, and they will be eager to make and wear it!
This printable pterodactyl template idea requires cardboard, scissors, hot glue, and markers.

Cut a rectangle form from the cardboard close to the measurement of your child’s wrist to form bands under the wings.
