Learning with dinosuars

Children love dinosaurs! They really make a great classroom theme for  2-3 year olds.
Here are a few ideas that I tried and my kids enjoyed.
1)Dino world off course:
Here we also focused on construction so we added in wooden blocks and logs to let the children build towers and bridges for their dinosaurs.
If you're looking for a short term, easy-to-clean-up set up then this is perfect! We used empty boxes, moss balls, tissue paper, wooden logs and ...voila!

 The children learn about what dinosaurs eat and how they live. I heard all sorts of suggestions, like dinos should eat cars and planes :). Also some said trees and lives. We also created dino eggs and talked about how baby dinosaurs hatch from eggs.

2) Literacy with dino bones: In this activity, we painted hard paper white and cut them into bones. Besides trying to build up a dino skeleton. We thought we would build shape and letter skeletons. Look, someone made an 'A; skeleton!

3) Problem solving; How will Mummy get to baby dinosaur?
 Two dinosaurs separated by a river (you could put a blue cloth to be the river) and two boards. The children need to think about how to get across... In this case, make a bridge.

4) We printed labeled dinosaur pictures and tried to match the plastic ones to the pictures.

What are your fun dino ideas?
