Dinosaur Crafts!

This week is all about dinosaurs!  There are many cute ideas out there for some fun dinosaur themed crafts, but here are a couple of the ones that I thought would be fun and easy to do with your kiddo!  Let us know if you have any that you have tried and would recommend!

This cute clothespin stegosaurus comes from No Time for Flashcards.  With fantastic instructions and pics for every step of the way, you’ll be crafting this bad boy in no time!  You could make a fun counting game from this too if you wanted to print off our Counting Cards!

 

This D for Dinosaur from Meet the Dubiens is a fun, and educational (always important!) craft.  You’ll get all the details and materials on the site from the lovely Jill!

 

 

Last but not least, this paper plate dinosaur from Cool Kids Crafts is the one non-stegosaurs option of the bunch! 

 

 

 

So, might I make one last suggestion?  Live dangerously and break out of the green and brown mold!  When we make some of these at our house I know we are going to have dino’s from every color of the rainbow!  I hope you all have fun crafting!

Dinosaur Field Trip

This week we are creating some fun dinosaur printables for you.  We can’t wait to share them.

 

As Amber and I were discussing the unit, I was reminded about the dinosaur field trip that my family took last year.  My husband and I took the boy to see some life size animatronic dinosaurs that had been on display at our local zoo.  When we got home, my husband and I had a blast working together to create this little slide show.  

Although, we didn’t capture any pictures of the boy’s wonderment, he really did enjoy looking at these extinct animals.  Of course, he preferred to view them from the comfort and security of his daddy’s arms.  As long as Daddy was holding him, he was fine. Well, except when one of the dinos decided to surprise them by spraying water at them.   All in all, it was a fun trip.

Do you have a dinosaur exhibit in your area?  Please share.  Another reader may not have realized there was one so close to them.  Thanks.
