When my son went to a dino-party where they forgot the dinos, I decided to use whatever I could find to make some right on the spot.
I started carving into an empty shampoo bottle, which looked like some sort of dino after a while.
It took me several bottles to get it stable enough to stand on its own.
Try it out yourself. I wonder how many bottles you need...

You will need:
- A fairly large empty shampoo or soap bottle;
It needs to be roughly rectangular in cross section; a round one will not work.
Take off the stickers and wash it out.
Cut off the bottle neck with the saw.
- Flower cutter or sheet metal scissors;
It should be strong enough to cut through thick plastic. A regular pair of scissors won't qualify.
- Paper tape or other tape you can write on;
- Marker or pen;
- Little handsaw, cutter, flush cutter and bradawl are optional;

Never leave them alone...
I followed your instructions to the letter and at first it all seemed fine, but I just found out that my dino has escaped and ran off into the woods!!!
Anybody got the phone-number from those guys from Jurassic Park??

I give workshops to students and kids: making toys from trash. Always fun.
