Dinosaur Unit 2 with FREE Printables

The older three kiddos are so excited to dive into a dinosaur study again.  I love that as they get older they're able to understand so much more.  It gives us a chance to dig deeper into subject content.  

Our Dinosaur Unit 2 with free printables builds off of our Dinosaur Unit 1 with free printables, with activities that are just a little more advanced! We hope you enjoy it as much as we have!

Dinosaur Spelling with Moveable Alphabet


Dinosaur Spelling with Moveable Alphabet

The kiddos have been practicing their spelling skills using the Montessori Cursive Moveable Alphabet and figures from our various dinosaur themed Safari Ltd. Toobs including the Safari Ltd Dinosaur Skulls TOOBSafari LTD Dinos Toob, and Safari Ltd Ancient Fossils TOOB.

Addition with Dinosaur Bones


Addition with Dinosaur Bones

This year the kiddos have memorized all of their math facts, but it's always nice to review.  Each card has an addition problem on it. 

The kiddos will use Pebbles to mark their answer. on each card.  If they need counters, Bones are provided.  One could use the Safari Ltd Dinosaur Skulls TOOB skulls as counters in this activity as well.

Dinosaur Multiplication


Dinosaur Multiplication

All of the kiddos are LOVING multiplication right now. It only made sense to include a dinosaur themed multiplication activity.  Once again pebbles are used as markers.  The dinosaur counters for this activity were found at our local dollar store.

Division of Dinosaur Eggs


Division of Dinosaur Eggs

I had the fabulous idea of dividing dinosaur eggs among nests for our unit. However, I quickly discovered that this is not the time of year to find eggs of any sort.  

Thankfully our local dollar store did have some jelly bean eggs, however, they're a bit brighter than I anticipate dinosaur eggs were.  Still, for the purpose of the activity, they work.  

The kiddos are doing great with division.

Dinosaur Continent Sort


Dinosaur Continent Sort

I must admit I'm super excited about sharing this activity.  The kiddos will sort dinosaurs by continent, based on where their bones have been found.  In this activity we use continent puzzle pieces from our Montessori Puzzle Map for sorting.

World Famous Paleontologists


World Famous Paleontologists

Ever since I can remember, Dinomite has always wanted to be a "dinosaur expert."  When he developed the vocabulary, he eventually used the word paleontologist and then began to research the world's greatest ones. They quickly became his heroes.  

This activity was designed with him in mind.  After all, if you're going to study dinosaurs, you need to know your paleontologists!

Predator & Prey Match Up


Predator & Prey Match Up

Both Dinomite and Bulldozer requested predator and prey cards for our unit, as they've loved them in other animal units we've done this year.  Thankfully Jason was willing to put the work into them and researched different dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures, learning what they may have eaten based on time period and location.

Making Dinosaur Fossils


Making Dinosaur Fossils

Dinomite was overjoyed when I asked him to help me make some dinosaur fossils for some of Sunshine's dinosaur activities.  Here you can see he enjoyed making bones, teeth, and more!

Dinosaur Silhouettes


Dinosaur Silhouettes

The kiddos have become interested in painting lately, especially with water colors, so I thought I'd provide a dinosaur themed art activity on our shelves this week.

  1. How much fun did it look like when the children were painting?

    That dinosaur in water colour is magical.

  2. I love the idea of sorting according to continents. Mavi bought a book about that and reads it every night.
