When it comes to dinosaur preschool activities, there are so many to choose from. You can make them as easy or as complicated as you’d like, depending on your child’s age and interests.
Here are some of our favorite activities to get your preschooler excited about dinosaurs:
Create a Dinosaur Dig Site
Gather some plastic dinosaurs and bury them in a sandbox or in some dirt outside. Give your preschooler a few tools, like a paintbrush, a spoon, and a magnifying glass, and let them uncover the dinosaurs. This is a great way to let their imaginations run wild and discover the dinosaurs.
Make a game out of learning the names of different dinosaurs. Print out pictures of dinosaurs, or use toy dinosaurs, and have your preschooler try to guess the name of each one. You can also make a chart of the different dinosaurs and their names and have kids help complete the chart by drawing lines from the names to the pictures.
Make a Prehistoric Scene
Collect some toy dinosaurs, rocks, and leaves, and have your preschooler create their own prehistoric world. They can use the items to create a landscape and then “populate” it with their toy dinosaurs. Encourage them to use their imaginations to come up with stories and scenarios for their prehistoric world.
Do a Dinosaur Art Project
Give your preschooler some paper and crayons and have them draw a picture of a dinosaur. You can provide some guidance and help them draw a specific dinosaur or let them draw whatever they want. You can also have them make collages of dinosaurs out of construction paper, or have them use their fingers to paint dinosaur shapes onto paper.
Visit a Museum
If you have a local natural history museum or dinosaur exhibit, take your preschooler there for a fun and educational field trip. Let them explore the exhibits and ask questions about the dinosaurs. Museums often have interactive displays and activities that your preschooler can engage with.
