I love dinosaur themed activities (so does my son!) They were some of the first activities we did in tot school! I’ll be pinning these for when we will return to our dino unit. Oh, and we tried the ice/egg excavation, but the dinosaurs we had were too large. You reminded me that I should definitely get some smaller ones and try it again 🙂
