DYNAMITE DINOS

Today’s theme is all about dinosaurs! Dinosaurs walked the planet millions of years ago. Dinosaurs were humongous! They were much bigger than lots of animals that are alive today. Some dinosaurs were 40 feet high! There were lots of different types of dinosaurs too. Some were big and other were small. Some had scales like a lizard and others had feathers like a bird. Some dinosaurs walked, ran, and crawled, and other dinosaurs swam deep in the ocean. There were so many dinosaurs that scientists are still finding dinosaur fossils today!

Today’s fun includes an eye spy, an activity to create your own dinosaur, and a matching game! Discover the Dinos!

Many dinosaurs lived and traveled together in groups. These groups are called “packs.” Search through the packs of dinosaurs. Try to find all of the dinosaurs on the list on the next page. Keep track of the number of dinosaurs you spot! Discover the Dinos!
