Hello everyone! I made these cards ages ago and we use it to play matching game with our Safari Feathered Dinosaur Toob. I’ll be posting our Dino Study this week for more dino-related activities that you can do with your little people. Hope you like my cards. Enjoy!

More Dino Activities (Free Activity Sheets)
Friday, March 1, 2013
Aside from this, we also explored the world of dinosaurs through the books we borrowed from the library.
Play the pattern game and graphing game from the dinosaur pack I downloaded from 2 Teaching Mommies.
Oh he loved the graphing game! We used his Legos this time. Last year, we used easter eggs (pretend that it was dinosaur eggs!).
And there’s the playdough of course :)
Last year we also had an exciting activity, we pretended to be scientists and excavate dinosaurs using my dino sensory tub.
Because my son loves his dino toobs so much, I made him a few more activity sheets and since I love my readers, I’m sharing it well. It includes graphic game using some dinosaurs as seen here, and grid game sheet which my son and I enjoyed playing as well.
Enjoy!!

Homemade Dinosaur Fossils
Monday, February 25, 2013
These homemade fossils were a huge hit!! A wonderful way to experience first hand how dinosaur fossils actually look like even if they’re just pretend. It’s the best way to teach little kiddos how fossils were formed and how dinosaurs were dug by scientists.
Recipe for my fossil dough:
1. Make a 3/4 cup instant coffee (need not to be hot).
2. 1 and a half cup of flour
3. Half cup of salt
Mix everything, just like how you do with play dough.
Press press press those dino figures in the dough :)
Bake the dough (after pressing the dino in the dough) at 180C for 30-35mins.

Digging Up Dinos!
Monday, March 12, 2012
Okay so I braved myself setting up some sensory tub for my son. Actually the main purpose of this tub is to excavate the dinosaurs. We’ve been reading books about dinosaurs lately and my son kept on asking me why some people dig dinosaurs. It is so hard to explain it to him at the moment since he has no idea of extinction and death. So just for fun, I told him that we will excavate (dig-up) dinosaurs and be scientists for a day! And he was ecstatic!
Here’s our little sensory tub for digging up dinosaurs. It contains salt (LOL) because we don’t have play sands. I was thinking using a brown rice but they’re a bit pricey. Then I added some egg carton box for volcanoes, mini chocolate eggs and some rocks.
This activity was primarily inspired by the Adventure of Bear’s post. She also shared a link on where to get these dinosaur information. The ones on the tray were dinosaurs that eat meat (carnivores) while the strips on the left are for dinosaurs that eat plants(herbivores).
And here’s my son digging up dinosaurs and their eggs :) We matched the dinosaurs he discovered to the ones on the strip. As we match, I discussed whether the dinosaur eats plants or meat. He enjoyed eating the eggs too!
I love how he concentrates when he’s working and how serious he was.
He enjoyed matching as well.
And this is what we ended up with. I love that he learned what “excavate” and “scientist” means. He uses these words now.
It was fun fun fun! Despite the mess he made later(I forgot to take photos!) it was still worth the clean-up because I knew he truly had a blast and learned a lot.

Dinosaur! Roar!
Friday, March 9, 2012
We’re doing dinosaurs this week. And here’s a glimpse of what we did for Math-related units.
Graphing game using dinosaur eggs :) He loved spinning the clip!
And he realized that they were not dinosaur eggs at all! They’re chocolates! See his smile? Precious!
We also had pattern games. Here he tries to copy the patterns in the control sheets. The dinosaur printables were all downloaded from 2 Teaching Mamas. They have wonderful resources for unit studies! So helpful isn’t it?
Then we also match our dinosaurs with some control cards I got from Jojoebi’s Site.
Oh and look forward to my post on how we excavate dinosaurs! Coming soon :)
