Work in progress:

When painting the body, Gwen consults with Ashton to ensure the color was just right.

Gwen and Quinn search for objects to represent the T-Rex's body, being mindful of searching only for the shapes they discussed.

Committee members searched through the stones to find ones that were sharp, to make the teeth look more realistic.

 

Daniel and Quinn hold the popsicle stick next to the toilet paper roll as they discussed the need to make the arms shorter.  

Quinn holds the popsicle stick against the body and decides that they need glued "far back" to make it seem like they were shorter than the legs.

Committee members group matchsticks together to ensure they had three for each arm and leg.  They counted the total sum- 12!

Cian explains that the "medium-sized eyeball" was too small, and encourages his committee members to choose the larger one.

When discussing the T-Rex's nose, committee members refer to a library book to help plan their ideas.

Committee members search through pom-poms to find two that were the same color and size.

Ashton’s T-Rex!
