DIY The Good Dino Arlo Recyclosaurus Craft

We didn't really have a plan for our Recyclosaurus when we started. We just grabbed some recyclables from around our house and created our Recyclosaurus on a whim with a little imagination. Check out our DIY The Good Dino Arlo Recyclosaurus build below!

(Note: We used a hot glue gun to secure the pieces of our build.)

The Good Dinosaur Stampedes Home On Blu-ray™ Combo Pack

From the innovative minds of Disney•Pixar comes a hilariously heartwarming adventure about the power of confronting and overcoming your fears and discovering who you are meant to be.

The Good Dinosaur asks the question: What if the asteroid that forever changed life on Earth missed the planet completely, and giant dinosaurs never became extinct? In this epic journey into the world of dinosaurs, an apatosaurus named Arlo makes an unlikely human friend.

While traveling through a harsh and mysterious landscape, Arlo learns the power of confronting his fears and discovers what he is truly capable of.

The perfect adventure for the whole family stampedes home on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, Digital HD and Disney Movies Anywhere February 23.
