Dinosaur Discovery


Last week at preschool, the kids learned about dinosaurs. Here they are marching outside with dinosaur feet. We also made fossils, colored pictures, read books, and played with toy dinosaurs in green play doe.
After class, we had a picnic lunch with all the moms and kids and then headed to the Utah Museum of Natural History. Admission is free on the first Monday of the month if anybody wants to go with me next month. It's an awesome place!
Jonathan was pretty excited to see all the humongous dinosaurs. He was so cute, pointing to each of them and then giving a great big "roar."
Of course he didn't last long in his stroller because he wanted to get a closer look at everything. Emily started crawling on her hands and feet and said, "Look at me, mommy. I'm scary like a dinosaur! Rarr!"

Emily and Jon just loved the many hands-on exhibits.


Emily, Etta, and Annie grabbed hands and started singing "Ring-a-Round the Rosies." It was so random. What funny girls! And here's Emily inside a huge dinosaur footprint.

Lastly, the kids got a chance to dig for dinosaurs bones, themselves. It was a great day.

I wish that we had stuff like that in St. George to do, that would be so much fun! Your little kiddos are so cute, I love the picture of Emily inside the dinosaur foot print!

It looks like the kids had a lot of fun. Did you teach the lesson?

That was a great little museum. I am glad we had that field trip right after them learning so much about the Earth.
We need to plan at least one more field trip. I think they are a great success!
