I got the cups at Walmart for $1.96 for a 4-pack, and the dinosaurs came in a 2-pack at the dollar store.
To start, spray paint the dinosaurs to match your cups. Mine needed a few coats to be fully covered.
Because the dinosaurs are spray painted, these cups should only be used by older kids who won’t chew on the handle

Then just glue the painted dinosaurs right to the side of the cup! I used a combination of hot glue and E6000, because the hot glue isn’t going to stay very well on plastic, but E6000 takes forever to dry. So when you use them both, the hot glue holds the dinosaur on while the E6000 dries, and the E6000 will be more permanent.
You want to make sure that the dinosaur’s tail is even with the bottom of the cup, because if it’s not, the handle will be too heavy for the cup and it will tip over.
Once they’re glued on, place the cups on their sides with the dinosaurs on top and let them dry for about 24 hours.
Then they’re ready to use!
These can be hand washed and used over and over!
My boys absolutely love their dinosaur cups, but if your kids are into something else, you can use whatever plastic animals you can find!
