Print on 200-250 gsm cardstock at 100 % / Actual size (not "fit to page")
Cut out the pieces and score the dashed lines

Fold the cover into a tube and slide the bed in
Tuck the dino into the blanket pocket, slide a toy into its paws (a grown-up cuts the small paw slit), flip it over for good morning!
