PedosaurusAbout the Design
More than 1,000 visitors to the Pittsburgh Children’s Museum helped to create this sculpture. The children drew dinosaur images onto bright paper cut into the shape of various dino feet. Staff Artist Laura Shaffalo then transferred individual drawings to the dino. With images being added over the course of several weeks, watching the work in progress was as much fun as participating.

What do children know and feel about dinosaurs? Check out "Pedosaurus" and you will be amazed at the complexity of thoughts expressed therein.
