Meteorite!

One of my favorite activities this week was organized and carried out by my four-year-old. Isn't that how it often goes? We read in First Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Life how a small-town-sized-meteorite smashed into the earth, which led to the dinosaurs dying out. Fascinated by this, Tommy got out his plastic dinosaurs (I think I bought them at the dollar store at some point), set them up in small groups, and then threw large bouncy balls at them (these were his meteorites). We had a blast.

We went through the book and matched his toy dinosaurs with the pictured dinosaurs so we knew what their names were. It was really fun to hear him playing: "Alright, Hadrosaur, let's go find Pterosaur and run from the T-Rex."

What fun things have you done for Dinosaur Week?
