Dinosaurs... One of the coolest creatures on the World, that went extinct...very unfortunate! If they were now, we don't know to what extent the kids would really love them!😍 Kids generally at any age will automatically be attracted towards dinosaur, no surprise LO have started to get an obsession with dinosaurs. It could be because of the dino toys or the dino books, Im not sure.
I was planning to make a Dinosaur sensory bin for the kids to explore. But later thought they are grown-up to dig up a sensory bin, so tried the Dinosaur table.
I discussed with LO and LOB before start of the setup... How to arrange the table? They gave me valuable ideas, from which I got reminded of the easter eggs which we saved for play, when LO was in his Pre-school. So the plan was like to introduce the life cycle of dinosaur to the kids.
So the first step would be hatching of eggs.
Next in the life cycle is
Baby Times.
The strongest dinosaurs were decided to let free near the caves and rocks..!
And finally the skeleton fossils excavation were setup for the kids to explore some Archaeological work!
We also tried to make some fossil prints and foot prints with the skeletons on the play dough🐾🐾
Fossil print and foot print....
To increase the curiosity level I made the display of Fossils book...
And the book following book I got from Chennai, a sure treat for dinosaur lovers. This has ample dinosaur stickers, a giant poster, colorful pictures of the mighty animal and reads about their habitats, their history... everything the kids want to know about dinosaur.
Post activity, the free play... After a while I kept the fossil dig sand tray outside, as I can't bear the mess they made with the sand. In few minutes you can see the sand over the entire table!! So be prepared to take up the mess or have some protective sheets underneath!
If you are not able to reduce the screen time, encourage the kids to browse about dinosaurs, sit along with them, get to know about the amazingly huge animal together!
Hope you loved the Dino land. Please leave a comment in the comment box below and let us know how are we proceeding with our work.
