Kids Dinosaur Activities ~ Have Your Own Dinosaur Themed Day!

Kids Dinosaur Activities - Must Have Mom

Picking a theme for the day and planning themed activities is one of my kids favorite things to do. I think back to school and some of my favorite ways to learn were through themed units. I try to recreate that structure for my own kids and plan a unit for learning. They think it’s just a fun way to spend the day. Here are some fun ideas to put together your own Dinosaur Unit. These kids dinosaur activities will get your kids learning in a variety of ways since all kids learn differently.

Danika and Aiden playing Dino Dog

My kids love playing the iPad so I always incorporate a game into our learning units. It gets them interested and it’s a great thing to add in to the rotation of activities for some quiet time. I found the new app Dino Dog and it fit perfectly with my dinosaur unit. They can explore deep underground finding fossils, cleaning bones and piecing them together to assemble whole dinosaurs before placing them in their very own museum using the Dino Dog app. The kids loved the Dino Dog app and it was the perfect addition to my dinosaur play I had planned for them.
