While we were at the Houston Nature and Science Museum last Month we got to take a look at their huge new Paleontology Hall...wow! even if I wasn't a Dino fan I would have been impressed. This isn't the dusty musty Museum halls I visited as a kid! After our visit Mini Piwi started talking about them a lot! It was a good thing we were ready for the letter D!
This week we did a lot of cutting, gluing, tracing and coloring. Instead of making up the tot book this week I just pulled out one activity at a time and then added them to a folder to make a 'Dino guide'. This seemed to work well. Mini Piwi often took an activity and put her own swing on it.

. I checked which skeletons they had in the exhibit and printed off there pictures from Zoom Dinosaurs. Mini Piwi colored each one as she found it. |
