Dinosaur Week

After we finished our Bug Week we started up Dinosaur Week. I was excited because I had so many more activities for dinosaurs. The first thing we did on Monday was go to the library to find books about dinosaurs. We found a ton of them and enjoyed reading them throughoutthe week. She always loves when a new tub comes out! I removed all the beans and pasta and instead had dinosaurs, some fake trees and moutains, a cup of water, a washcloth for washing the dinosaurs (always a favorite activity for Meg, and some dinosaurs that grow in water!
Getting them clean
I had found a great Usbourne dinosour tracing book back at Affair of the Heart and have been hanging onto it. Brody really enjoyed this activity!
We also broke out some activities from a couple of weeks ago. They are princess counting cards I found Here! She counts the number of princesses, wands, or crowns and then puts the correct number of gems/rocks on the card. We did some Lincoln Log building trying to make a home for our dinosaurs. Yes, my kids NEVER wear clothes.
Another great activitiy from the same website was color matching dinosaurs. She loves doing these kind of activities!

We also made Dinosaur Feet. I found it in the Family Fun magazine!
We used Kleenex boxes and taped up the holes to fit the kids feet. Then they painted them, let them dry and then got to wear them around!

You are supposed to used sponges cut in triangles for the toes but we didn't have any, so pom poms had to do!

The feet were fun, but they just kept falling down when they tried to walk. Brody said we should have made them into dinosaur claws!

To wrap up our Dinosaur Week we made a trip to the Sam Noble Museum in Norman. We were happy that Gran B and the Kovash Family joined us for a fun trip! We headed to the Discovery Room first. They started off with a little digging for dinosaur bones!

Brody preferred playing with some toy dinosaurs

They all liked the skeleton

His favorite part. Being stomped by the elephant

Of course she had to do it too

Brody loves having Sterling in Oklahoma now!

Laying in a canoe made from a tree

Sterling was looking at an exhibit but we snapped a picture while the two little ones were strapped down! Its hard to contain them otherwise!

We also learned a new song about dinosaurs that is now Meg's favorite songs. Here it is in case you want to try it out! You sing it to the tune of "I'm a little teapot"

I'm a mean ole dinosaur big and tall

Here is my tail and here is my claw

When I get all hungry I just growl

Watch out kids I'm on the prowl

Some dinosaurs were very tall

Some dinosaurs were very small

Some dinosaurs flew threw the hair

Now their all gone I don't know where.

You can do a lot of fun motions to make it even more fun for the kids!
