Dinosaur Playdate: Learn through Play

Start with a fun set up displaying any dinosaurs you have

As a sensory activity- bring out the play dough and have the kids make dino foot prints

---

Teach the kids about eggs and how some dinosaurs may have come from eggs.  I cracked a few shells prior and washed them out knowing the kids would want to feel the shells.

---

As a craft activity, the kids made their own volcanos.  Materials we used were paper plates for the base, brown tissue paper, glue and snow cone cups.

---

The eruption! We used whip cream instead of shaving cream. The kids had fun pouring the red food coloring to make lava.

---

The temptation!

---

Too strong to resist :)

---

Dino's and rice. I know it looks messy but this was a calming activity. The room was totally quiet except for the sound of rice being transfered from bucket to pail/floor and such.
