  • Cut out the T. rex.
  • Download the printable feather (under “Materials”), and cut it out (or use a feather, if you have one).
  • Place your T. rex on a wall or flat surface.
  • Stick some tape on your feather.
  • Put on a blindfold and try to tape your feather on your T. rex.

[Optional]: Color in your T. rex, and when you’re done playing the game, add feathers where you think they should be.
