Dinosaur activities

Give each child a chocolate chip cookie and a toothpick. Tell the children about how there are people who dig up dinosaur bones and have to get them out of the earth. Have the children try to get the chocolate chips out of the cookie using the toothpicks.

Sequencing Sizes
You can draw and cut out different sizes of bones and/or teeth. Have the children order them from smallest to largest or the other way around. Ask them which is the largest/smallest for younger ones.

Pin the horn on the Triceratops

Sort pictures of dinosaurs by meat eating and plant eating. Have the children try a piece of ham and a bite of lettuce. Have them tell you which they like better and it they would be a meat eater or a plant eater.
