Letting the kids look through the scrapbook paper section of our local hobby store for "dinosaur skin" papers was a lot of fun. They came up with some interesting choices.

| Scrapbook paper for "dinosaur skin" |
Halfway through our project, we ran out of scrapbook paper, so we decided to make our own. My favorite dinosaurs are the ones we made from scratch. We used tempera paints on construction paper, as well as pastels, to create our own "skin" patterns.

All of these options work - it's just a matter of what look you like and how much work you want to put in.
