Mad About Dinosaurs!

Product Information

The Rocks and Soils resource, first on the list, provides an example of a simple 'how a fossil is made' sequence. David has gone on to create many more hugely successful children's books, including The Lion Who Wanted to Love, winner of the Red House Book Award, and the bestselling Mad About Minibeasts. Using activities themed around your child's interests, such as dinosaurs, is one way of catching a child's interest in an activity.

Mad About Dinosaurs

From slow, plant-eating giants to fierce scavengers and hunters, dinosaurs dominated the land for over 160 million years. The relevance to dinosaurs lies in the last activity (pages 19-20) where children piece together a set of Iguanadon 'bones'. They can invite parents and carers in to come and learn more about endangered animals, being guides showing them around exhibits in their museum. A chapter on dinosaurs, beginning on page 38 (and perhaps worth reading if you have the time) makes an important point. Try beginning with the Dino Top 5 - Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Diplodocus, Coelyphylis and Tryceratops.

Palaeontologists over centuries have collected evidence of dinosaurs from rocks and beaches, sometimes discovering fossilised remains, sometimes finding other traces - the stories of what happened between dinosaurs - in the form of footprints. Children might choose their favourite type of dinosaur, find out all they can and then create a model, poster and/or Who am I?

From touch-and-feel books to bedtime stories and non-fiction, we help 0-7s to learn, play and grow - sparking plenty of smiles along the way. Children could draw pictures of animals or bring in soft toys to represent endangered animals, finding out about what they eat, how many offspring they have, what kind of habitat they live in nad why they might be in danger of becoming extinct. Aimed at older primary, this collection of resources links to the topics of rocks and soils, evolution, identification and classification.

It also helps to show how the age of the rock relates to the age of the fossil you find in the rock, the fossils found at the bottom being older than the fossils found in the layers at the top. Watch out for the Natural History Museum's Dippy the Diplodocus as he is about to embark on a tour of the country.
