Since my daughter's first day of preschool, I've been drawing dinosaurs on her napkins that go in her lunchbox. I try not to repeat any species, but sometimes she requests one of her favorites (triceratops and tyrannosaurus rex). It's a little reminder to her in the middle of her day that I love her.
She chooses a classmate to give her napkins to after lunch, so I started taking photos of them about a year ago and posting them on Instagram as a way to archive them for her.

Amber, you should post pictures of dinosours on bored panda, and let them guess, some of these I did not know, So it would be a challenge.

If it's really bad I will chuck it, but if it's minor I just go with it. It's important to me that she knows that it's ok not to be perfect

While I love your drawings... This Dinos mouth is going to give me nightmares EDIT: ok, maybe I phrased that badly... What i meant is that I find this dino scary. Also, when I posted this comment the first time, it was at 11:00 PM and I actually DID dream about it.

They often creep me out too! Especially the swimming ones *shivers*

Hi Annie, I'm the one drawing the dinosaur napkins. And while her dad is definitely awesome and supportive, her *mom* is the napkin artist.

I bet he thought all of these in his head, even if he did not write them out.
