Our Dinosaur Day was great! We read some of my favorite books..."How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight", "How Do Dinosaurs Go to School", "How Do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon" written by Jane Yolen & Mark Teague. These stories are perfect for preschoolers. Using dinosaurs and a lot of silliness, they teach some great lessons on how we should and shouldn't behave. Then we looked at a book with pictures of "real" dinosaurs and talked about what they were like. While the kids were playing with toys, I hid several small dinosaurs around the room. Then they went on a dinosaur hunt. The kids loved this so much we could have played all day. They each took turns hiding the dinosaurs and letting the other boys find them. For our craft we made this "shape-a-saurus". I found the template for it on allkidsnetwork.com in the craft section. I provided the cut out shapes and the kids were able to glue these together all by themselves. Then they each got to wear one of these fun dinosaur hats home. I found them at Dollar Tree, of course.
