Bring prehistoric fun to your classroom or home with these exciting T-Rex Clothespin Puppets. This hands-on printable craft allows children to create a moving Tyrannosaurus Rex puppet that opens and closes its mouth, making it perfect for imaginative play, storytelling, and dinosaur-themed learning activities.

Designed for teachers, parents, and homeschool families, this resource combines creativity with skill development. As children colour, cut, assemble, and play, they naturally strengthen fine motor skills, scissor control, hand-eye coordination, and creative expression. Once completed, the puppet becomes a fun interactive prop for role-play, science topics, literacy activities, and dinosaur adventures.

The set includes both Pre-Coloured and Black & White versions, giving children the freedom to choose between a ready-to-use dinosaur or a personalised creation. All files are provided in both US Letter size (8.5" x 11") and A4 formats for convenient printing at home, school, or homeschool settings.

Whether you’re planning a dinosaur unit, prehistoric theme, STEM activity, or simply looking for an engaging craft project, these T-Rex Clothespin Puppets are sure to become a favourite with young dinosaur enthusiasts.
