Dino-mite!

October is Dinosaur Month, so I have been doing some dinosaur related activities with the kids. This week, we made a dinosaur mural, made by attaching dinosaur coloring pages to a large sheet of butcher paper. We also made dinosaur hats by taking a dinosaur coloring page, cutting around the outline of the dinosaur and attaching it to a strip of construction paper. I then attached the ends together and it made a very cute hat! I got lots of compliments on the hats.

The kids really loved the dinosaur activities. One parent told me that her son talked about dinosaurs at home the entire evening after school. Next week, we are going to paint dog biscuits white, then after they dry, I'm going to hide them. It will then be time for a dinosaur bone hunt! We had a practice hunt this week, which the kids absolutely loved. In fact, they were asking me this week when we were going to have the "real" dinosaur bone hunt.

We are also going to make stuffed dinosaurs. I found the idea and thought it sounded really cute. To go along with our theme, we watched The Land Before Time. We also did more coloring of dinosaurs, and looked at a lot of dinosaur books. I also made up a song about, you guessed it, dinosaurs! While the kids certainly enjoy it, I have a feeling that I will be tired of dinosaurs by the end of the month!
