Studying dinosaurs is a great way to encourage children to use their observation and visual discrimination skills. For example, even very young children can identify many dinosaurs by name and learn interesting facts to share about their favorites! Utilizing dinosaur books and dinosaur songs is a wonderful way to make this theme more lively and fun for your little ones.

Dinosaur Lesson Plans

Young children are the best scientists. Their endless curiosity is refreshing and allows them to question, challenge, and observe how the world works. Therefore, because our little ones are budding scientists, dinosaurs remain one of the most fascinating themes in a preschool classroom. Since dinosaurs are no longer alive, there is a sense of wonderment and interest in these mega-sized creatures.
