Ideas for Plastic Dinosaur Figures

--Have the children sort the animals by size.
--Have the children sort the animals by the kind they like the best to least.
--Buy two or more sets and have the children sort the animals by type.
--Supply the children with a balance and let them experiment.
--Have the children count the animals.
--Supply the children with cards with numbers on them. Large playing cards work well. Have the children place the appropriate number of animals on each card. Ie 4 animals on the card that has a 4 (or 4 of diamonds) on it.
--Let the children play with the animals in the sand and water table.
--Put the dinosaurs in the block area, encourage the children to create mountians with the blocks for the animals to live and play on.
--Supply the children with paint and white paper, and give them a figure of a dinosaur. Have them dip the animals feet in the paint press them on the paper to make dinosaur tracks.
