Singing Dino, ditty, ditty dum ditty do Hes huge (echo) Hes strong (echo)

Dinosaur Moves Spread your arms way out wide; Fly like a Pteranodon, soar and glide. Bend to the floor, head down low; Move like a Stegosaurus, long ago. Reach up tall, try to be; As tall as an Apatosaurus eating on a tree. Using your claws, grumble and growl; Just like Tyrannosaurus on the prowl.

Activity Ideas:
Be An Archaeologist! Explain that archaeologists have to carefully dig through the dirt to find dinosaur bones. Then give each child a chocolate chip cookie. Have children pretend they are archaeologists as they use toothpicks to carefully dig out the chocolate chips! The Mailbox Magazine, Preschool edition Aug/Sep 2013 Dino Island: (Water Table or sink - activity) To prepare, cut several island shapes from clean foam vegetable trays. Float the island in the water; then set a supply of mini dinosaurs (erasers, beads, counters, etc) nearby. Invite the children to balance the dinosaurs on the islands. To reinforce counting skills, encourage the children to count the dinosaurs as they are placed on the island. To reinforce one-to-one correspondence, use a permanent marker to place sets of dots, from 1 to 5, on five different islands. Then direct the children to place one dinosaur on each dot.

Playing!

Here we go round the mulberry bush, The mulberry bush, The mulberry bush. Here we go round the mulberry bush, On a cold and frosty morning.

EARLY LITERACY EXTRA! (PLAYING)


Play comes naturally to young children. Encourage your child to imagine he or she is in another place or pretending to be someone else. How would a dinosaur go round the mulberry bush? Would it stomp? Would it roar? What about a horse? Would it gallop? Would it whinny? Or how about a race car? Would it zoom? Who can think of the next one?
