While living on the International Space Station for 6 months in 2013, astronaut Karen Nyberg missed her 3-year-old son, Jack, who was crazy about dinosaurs. She wanted to bring him a special gift from space so she stitched together a toy dino from the felt lining of the Russian cosmonauts' food containers and stuffed it with one of her t-shirts from the ISS. In this workshop, learn how to make your own Space Dinosaur from recycled materials!
