Carly Catalano had a plan. She knew that moving from British Columbia to Australia with her partner, Sam, and their 3-year-old daughter Florence during the pandemic would mean undergoing a mandatory 14-day hotel-room quarantine. Two weeks in close quarters with a 3-year old means getting uber-creative.
The internet is not riddled with DIY dinosaurs but with some would-be takeout trash, some disposable cutlery, an ironing board, and a few other miscellaneous items, the family began construction of its very own dinosaur, Bagasaurus.
Bagasaurus stands 1.5 meters tall, adores little girls who dress up in matching paper-bag-scaled outfits, and is an herbivore. S/he is kind and has warmed the hearts of many.
In addition to having a great personality and being rather quiet (for a dinosaur), the Bagasaurus has an eco-friendly carbon footprint. S/he will even be recycled when the family moves on from the hotel.
It sure is amazing when creativity takes the wheel and we let it take us on a ride.
