This was another very easy project, taking less than an hour overall. Easy to do while Luke played, my favorite kind.
What you will need:
-toy animals to paint, mine came from the Target Dollar Spot for $1 each
-metallic paint - I used Martha Stewart in Brushed Pewter and Titanium
-paint brush
-something to cover your paint surface

They look pewter-y in person but if you pick them up you know instantly that they are fake. I thought briefly about not painting and saving them for Luke to play with...but he's not interested in toys like this yet and I'm sure we'll find something when he is. In the meantime I enjoyed playing with them for their little photoshoot. Here the T-Rex and one on the right are discussing eating the Brontosaurus. (I think that's what the middle one is?)
Total cost was around $7 for the dinosaurs and then two bottles on paint, on sale, of which I have plenty leftover. I really like how they came out. They tie nicely with the silver trays near our dining table and are shimmery which I always like.

Stegosaurus! :-D
Very cute. I've seen this where they painted them and then glued them to a heavy block or something to make a bookend I think. I need to google that!
Haha, thanks. =) I need to read up on my dinosaurs apparently. =)
I like the bookend idea!! Maybe that's where these will end up...
