Friday night we enjoyed another FAMILY FUN NIGHT. We did it DINO-style.
Then we made a cool craft.
Here's what we did...
Cooked our Tyson dino nuggets. Steamed some broccoli 'trees'. Then propped them up between the dinosaurs. I tinted their cups of milk w/ blue+green food coloring & called it, 'dinosaur blood'.
Our collection of dinosaurs made the table setting & atmosphere.
After our supper, we learned a new dinosaur song:
I'm a Mean Old Dinosaur
(Author Unknown)
(Sung to tune of "I'm a little Tea Pot")
I'm a mean ol' Dinosaur
(Make a mean face)
Big and Tall
(Gesture hands big and tall)
Here is my tail, here is my claw.
(Gesture hands behind your back for tail and make claw hands)
When I get all hungry
(Rub your tummy)
I just growl
(have the kids exaggerate their grrrowl)
Look out kids I'm on the prowl.
(I tickle each of my kiddos' tummies)
Then we made a cool craft.
After a dinosaur hunt, for all the dinosaur books in our collection, we ended our quiet evening with some story stories & facts.
How you could up this ante:
- Dress the part. You could go dino or caveman.
- Get some vines (crepe paper) & hang from ceiling or your dining room light.
- Make a volcano. Small scale or go crazy with it.
- Dinosaur shaped cookies.
- Dino bone dig. Just get a small container (I like using the under the bed storage units) & fill with sand. Put any type of little bones (or anything resembling one) in the sand & have your little paleontologists dig them up. You could even add brushes, magnifying glasses, or any other 'archaeological' devices.
- If you're good with breakfast for dinner (one of my favorites), there is a great instant oatmeal with dinosaur eggs.
Hope your FAMILY FUN NIGHT is dino'tastic!
