DIY Back Scratcher Dinosaur Craft with The Itchy Book

Itching to get your little ones to read more? Me too! With Kindergarten on the horizon, I’m collecting all of the books I can for my littlest reader. She absolutely LOVES reading books right now – and I love that she loves learning to read. Disney Books always has really fun and engaging titles for my kids. It’s not too surprising that the latest new book already has my girl giggling with just the title name. Check out why we love The Itchy Book and make this easy DIY Back Scratcher Dinosaur Craft too.

About The Itchy Book

From Disney Books and the Elephant & Piggie Like Reading! series, this hilarious new book dives into what happens when you combine dinosaurs and that nagging little itch! Perfect for young readers age 6-8 years old, my daughter loves laughing along as dinosaurs resist the urge to scratch in The Itchy Book. Using easy-to-repeat word phrases, an engaging comic book like read and brightly colored illustrations, my daughter is picking up new words and reading them with ease!

The itchy book review

Itchy dinosaurs try to follow a very important, very prehistoric rule. A rule so important and so prehistoric, it’s written in stone. DINOSAURS DO NOT SCRATCH!

Triceratops has an itch. . . so does Pterodactyl. . . and Brontosaurus. . . and T-Rex! But Dino-Mo reminds them all of the BIG rule: Dinosaurs do not scratch! What’s an itchy dinosaur to do? Find out in this hilariously charming beginning reader by author/illustrator LeUyen Pham.

Kids back scratcher diy

Directions:

  1. Paint the stir stick and clothespins in your child’s favorite dinosaur color. Allow to dry. If desired, let them glue on dinosaur accessories (like pom poms, glitter, construction paper) to bring out their dino’s personality.
  2. Bend bobby pins at one end to curl like a dinosaur claw. Place claw inside of clothespin and glue in place.
  3. On one end of the paint stick, arrange and attach your clothespins at the non-opening ends (3-5 dependent on how many claws your child would like). Glue in place.
  4. If desired, embellish your DIY Back Scratcher with crafty accessories.
  5. DONE! Allow your child scratch all of their itches with their own dino themed DIY back scratcher, perfect for reading along with The Itchy Book!
