DINOSAUR DIY TERRARIUM FOR KIDS

Dinosaur DIY Terrarium for kids

Craft Materials

Before starting this project, you’ll need the following materials:

House Shape Glass Terrarium, Decorative Black Sand, Floral Moss, Flocked Moss, Faux Stones, Succulents, Plastic Dinosaurs

Hello friends! Today I’m sharing a DIY Terrarium project I made over at the Darcie Blog last month.

Do your kids LOVE dinosaurs as much as mine? Make a Dinosaur DIY Terrarium with them! This is a FUN kids craft and a great piece of decor for their room, a real win win!! You can change colors around and this project can be for a boy or girl, maybe add some mini unicorns or bugs.  What would you add?

While browsing the Darice site I came across this House Shaped Terrarium and I asked my son if this is what he wanted to use.  He had a BIG smile on his face and said YES mom!  So I just had to get it for him, but you can use any type of terrarium you want.  I’ve seen a ton of different styles of terrariums you can use for a project like this!

Let’s get started!

DIY TERRARIUM FOR KIDS

Step 1 – Add Sand

Start off by having the kids add their sand first. I had several different color options but my son thought black would be the best color. You can add as much or as little as you like.

Step 2 – Add your Moss

Next we added some fun floral moss, this bag gave us a lot of different colors and textures for our DIY Terrarium.

Step 3 – Time to Add Succulents

Of course any DIY terrarium needs some greenery.  These faux succulents are a perfect touch. I found some great small ones, that fit right in.

Step 4 – Add Moss Rocks

These faux moss covered rocks were another great touch, and really filled in some empty spots.

Looking for another dinosaur themed craft? I’ve been working on my son’s dinosaur themed room, and our most recent project was this DIY dino art.  This was another project we worked on together for his room.  He loves to be a part of the decorating! Who wouldn’t right??!

Thank you so much for stopping by, I really hope you enjoyed this DIY Terrarium project I made with my son!

Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor a Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor accessories is... you guessed it, FOWERS! I have flowers all over my house, several in each room actually. I even switch them out for the seasons. One of my favorite places to find faux flower arrangements is @homegoods. They have the bet selection to choose from. 🌺🌻

One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is this light fixture I got at @worldmarket. I have been eyeing it for years, and knew when I finally decided to give my bedroom a makeover I had to have it! What a difference a light fixture can make in a room. I love just laying in bed and staring at it, kinda obsessed.

After being in our house for 7 years we finally de After being in our house for 7 years we finally decided in August to start our bedroom makeover. We've put this room off last and focused more on the other rooms in the house since we moved in. For our 20 year wedding anniversary, we decided it was time to give OUR bedroom a makeover now. I feel like it's been a long process, but I'm so happy with what's been done so far. It's so bright and airy in here now, a perfect way to relax and unwind for the day. We still need to shiplap the walls, but I wanted to share a sneak peek.
