  • Air dry craft clay 
  • Sculpting tools such as a craft knife, toothpick, and clay shaping tools a set for each Cub Scout 
  • Sponge 
  • Bowl of water 
  • Wolf handbook 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Prepare your workspace. Cover your work surface with a plastic tablecloth or parchment paper to prevent the clay from sticking. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Ask Cub Scouts to sculpt a basic dinosaur shape by shaping the clay into the rough outline of a dinosaur.  
  2. Ask Cub Scouts to create a basic body shape and then add limbs, head, tail, and other details as needed. 
  3. Encourage Cub Scouts to use sculpting tools to add details like scales, facial features, claws, and teeth. They can reference images to get a sense of the dinosaur’s anatomy. 
  4. Suggest that Cub Scouts use tools to smooth out the surface and refine the shape. They can also use a damp cloth or sponge to achieve a smoother texture. 
  5. Ask Cub Scouts to share their dinosaurs with the den. Encourage Cub Scouts to name their dinosaur and tell where it lived and what it ate.
