Since My family and I have temporarily moved to Connecticut to house sit for my niece, I have been getting to experience what a long distance grandma needs to do ...

Need a super cute card that is perfect for a kids birthday? Today's Triple Easel fun fold card is exactly what you need.

Hello there and Good Morning to you! I am back today with another Dino Days make AND a video too!

I only have 2 1/2 days left! Woohoo! My class has been okay so far. I mean I could tell they were anxious for summer, but today.... oh brother! They couldn't sit long, couldn't focus long, and needed to MOVE! Good thing we were learning about dinosaurs today. I did something very different (for me, that is) and set up the last 10 days to focus on different themes. So today and tomorrow are dinosaurs and Wednesday/Thursday is Summer. We've done space, Chris Van Allsburg (one of my all-time favorite kids authors), penguins, and "Cool Kids." It's been fun. Over the weekend I made up a dinosaur measuring activity I thought I'd share. You can grab the freebie by clicking on the first picture. I set up 4 stations (all the same) with the 6 "length" cards and 4 other stations with the 6 "height" cards. Kids worked with a partner, measured each dinosaur and recorded their measurement on the recording sheet. When everyone was done, they switched to do the other station. It worked out great and they kids had fun. Only one little guy had trouble measuring. He just couldn't get the hang of putting the beginning of the ruler on one line. He just laid the ruler wherever and wrote the measurement. After showing him many times, he finally got it. Yippee! After school I went to visit my friend Kara. If you read my post over the weekend, you read about her unfortunate situation. I thought I'd have to try not to cry, but it was actually nice, pleasant visit and I didn't cry at all- yeah for me! It was wonderful to see her what was probably one last time. Even though it doesn't change the sadness at all, I'm focusing on the positive part of our visit and the time I've known her and her wonderful family. And as for losing our bunny, we feel the void but it's getting better. Thank for you all your sweet comments. Now on to my currently...  Chrissy

There are not many children that I know, that aren't fascinated by dinosaurs in some way. (Or adults, come to think of it). These incredible creatures, larger and more interesting than we can really imagine, that lived on this earth long before we arrived! If your children love dinosaurs, here are a collection of 10 fabulous dinosaur themed activities that incorporate sensory play, maths, imagination, storytelling, creating, crafting and more! Enjoy! 1) Handprint Dinosaurs Create your own dinosaurs, using your very own handprint for their body, legs and neck. Add eyes and a tail to complete your creation. Materials: Easy Wash paint, paintbrush, paper, googly eyes (optional), marker. TIP: To avoid really awkward twisting of the wrist, print your handprint with your hand around the right way and then turn your paper upside down to get the "dinosaur legs" on the bottom of the page To make the head, either print an extra thumb print at the end of your dinosaurs "neck" or slightly move your thumb when making your handprint to create a head shape. Press your googly eyes on while the paint is still wet. Alternatively you could stick them on with glue or draw on eyes once the paint has dried. Use your paintbrush to add a tail to your dinosaur. You could also add spikes or any other details you'd like. Add further details with a permanent marker once the paint is dry. What cool colours and patterns would you make your dinosaur? We thought that this little guy, made by my 4 year old, looked a lot like an orange spotted grinning Arlo. 2) Create your own Dinosaur World Provide your child with materials to make their own Dinosaur World for pretend play. Materials they could use are: a large tub your favourite plastic dinosaurs rocks trees (use plastic shrubbery or collect some leaves and twigs from outside) smaller tub for lake/pond (optional) water (optional) felt for grass or water Have fun playing, using imagination and story telling to create adventures for your dino friends in their new dinosaur land! 3) Dinosaurs in Sticky Mud For a super sensory activity, full of messy imaginative play, have a go at this sticky mud dinosaur tub! You can find all the details for making it here. 4) Paper Plate-a-sauruses (with free printable templates) Use some basic supplies, including these free printable dinosaur templates to create your own paper plate dinosaur friends. Use your creations for decoration or story telling. You could even try sticking a craft stick to your designs, turning the lights out and shining a torch on your dinosaur for some cool dinosaur shadow puppets! My kids noticed that the Diplodocus looked a lot like Arlo the Apatosaurus. They were right! They do look similar and in fact, they are both from the Diplodocidae Family. This super cool activity made by The Craft Train for Learn with Play at Home 5) Sandpit Dino Dig! How about trying out the role of paleontologist with your own dinosaur bone excavation in the sandpit? You can see more pictures of our dino dig (and whole Dinosaur Party) here. 6) Make your Own Dinosaur Bones Picture by The Imagination Tree If you don't have any plastic dinosaur bones to dig up, fear not! You could make your own using these instructions from The Imagination Tree. You'll also see some great ideas on how to use the bones to work on maths concepts such as length and counting. 7) Create Dinosaur Fossils from Coffee Grounds Picture by I Can Teach My Child As well as bones, you can make some very cool dinosaur fossils out of coffee grounds using these instructions from I Can Teach My Child. 8) Make Dinosaur Masks Use paper-plates to make your favourite dinosaur masks and use them for imaginary play. Or, you can print out some free Dinosaur Masks from Itsy Bitsy Fun or from Mother Natured here. What would you use to make an Apatosaurus mask? 9) Cardboard Tube Dinosaurs Picture by The Craft Train Get crafty making these adorable dinosaurs from The Craft Train, using cardboard tubes or toilet paper rolls. See the full instructions on how to make them here. If you collect enough cardboard rolls, you could even create an entire prehistoric land! 10) "The Good Dinosaur" Colouring Sheets Decorate your favourite characters from The Good Dinosaur movie with these free printable colouring sheets. Click on the links to download and print your favourites. Paint, colour or collage them as you like. ** Arlo & Spot 1 ** Arlo & Spot 2 ** Butch ** Ramsey ** Nash ** Perhaps you could use them as inspiration to write your very own story imagining what it might be like if dinosaurs never became extinct, or "If I had a dinosaur as a friend". Happy creating! Do you have any dinosaur fans in your family? Happy playing, Debs :) Look where else we are. Are you following along? :)
