Come and dance with dinosaurs!
The children will love this book. Dancing
Dinos (Step-Into-Reading, Step 1) written by
Sally Lucas and illustrated by Margaeux Lucas. Activity #1: Read Dancing Dinos This book has a lot of rhyming and rhythm, these are great to help children with pre-reading skills. Counting: Read the story once and then start again, pause to count the dinosaurs in each page. Check with the children if they can tell how many dinosaurs are missing in certain pages. Identifying Objects and Places: Ask the children to identify objects and areas. In what room did the dinosaurs eat, in what room did they take a bath, where did they spill water, etc. Activity #2: Homemade Toy: Make a Dinosaur Diorama (PDF Format only 5 pages including instructions) Here is a great craft to make that is also a wonderful home made toy. It is only available in PDF format. The assembly instructions are on the first page: Ideas & Comments: 1. You may need to print more background pages depending on the size of the shoe box and most of the assembly needs to be made by an adult. 2. Children can help to brush glue on the pieces or directly to the box. 3. You may also be able to purchase 3" to 4" inch toy plastic dinosaurs available from a "dollar store" to replace the paper dinosaurs. 4. To make movable dinosaur figures,
cut 1/2 pieces from a toilet paper tube and glue the dinosaurs against
the tube so the children can play with the dinosaurs instead of gluing
them to the box (except for the flying reptile). |
