DIY Dinosaur Terrarium Night Light

by

Do you have some little dinosaur lovers? Are they afraid of the dark at bedtime? Make a DIY Dinosaur Terrarium Night Light together from a mason jar! The flickering light is soothing to fall asleep with and makes kids feel safe.
This is a great way to use the plastic dinosaurs too. My little one grew out of playing with them well before he grew out of Dinosaurs so it is a great way to create a more grown up too.

I am going to include this in our nature crafts category too as it is a  great project for little ricks and sticks collected on a school nature excursion or a day out at the park.
