The
above is a simple list of ideas I generated after deciding to
do a dinosaur project with my girls. As we complete them I will
post my methods, materials used, the learning ideals that have
been fulfilled and some photos.
A
particularly excellent set of pages explaining the different
ages and eras and which dinosaurs lived when. I think this is
one of the best i have seen on this site, and its all good!
A
Dinosaur colouring and information book to cut out and make
with simple versions for younger children. Fairly simplistic
designs but the information makes up for it. This site can take
you on a major wander, so make sure you bookmark here!
Excellent
array of links on crafts and information here plus some pure
fun elements too. The end of the page has mothers day ideas
if you want to drop hints for next year!
There
is a classroom based list of activities and skills here which
translate to home education, plus a list of links for older
children too. Well worth a look.
Don't
be put off by the slightly scary look this site has as the paper
dinosaurs look excellent. A word of warning though, you might
want to supervise use of the site as there is a slightly questionable
recipe advertised!
This
is supposedly graded into 3 levels but click on any of the three
Print and Colour Icons and you'll find dinosaurs galore. We
have used these for lots of activities.
Though
this is aimed at an older child, there is plenty for an early
years parent to look at. The main themes of dinosaur discovery
are carefully flagged up with ideas for exploration which can
easily be adapted for a younger child. One of the best sites
for information and ideas I have found.
Who
named them, how they walked, ate, nested and died. There is
plenty for a parent needing extra facts or an older children
ready to go beyond the basics.
