Step into the prehistoric world with Dino Adventure: Explore, Play & Roar! This exciting activity lets children engage in imaginative play while learning about dinosaurs. From stomping like a T-Rex to digging for fossils, this adventure sparks curiosity and creativity, making learning about dinosaurs fun and interactive.
- Dino Stomp Warm-Up: Start by asking kids to move like different dinosaurs—stomp like a T-Rex, flap like a Pterodactyl, or run like a Velociraptor.
- Dinosaur Discovery: Show dinosaur toys, flashcards, or pictures and discuss their names, sizes, and unique features.
- Fossil Dig: Hide small dino toys or “fossils” in a sand tray or sensory bin. Let children dig and uncover them using small tools or hands.
