How Long Were Long-Necked Dinosaurs’ Necks?
A scarf for a long-necked dinosaur would have to be enormous! In many species, the neck was several yards long, and in some, over 30 feet – longer than a classroom. A giraffe has only 7 neck bones, while many long-necked dinosaurs had quite a few more. Could dinosaurs get cold? Interesting question: during the age of dinosaurs, Earth was mostly warmer than today. So they probably didn’t need scarves – but this one sure looks good!

Glue real yarn onto the scarf to make it extra cozy. Measure your own scarf – how many times would it wrap around a dino’s neck? The finished page also makes a great homemade winter or holiday card.
