Dinosaur Bones

Filed in Dinosaurs, School Age Activites, Toddler and Preschool Activities

We have started learning all about dinosaurs and I have several fun activities and crafts planned! First up we did a dinosaur bones craft.

This is super easy- all you need is glue, craft sticks, toothpicks, a dinosaur shaped head and some construction paper.

For Hunter I put the glue on his paper and then he lined his sticks up with the glue. He did a really good job putting his sticks on the glue.

After you put the neck, legs and tail on, add the toothpicks for the smaller bones.

Tot School

Filed in Colors, Shapes, Space, Toddler and Preschool Activities, Tot School

Hunter is 16 1/2 months old.

Our focus for Tot School was space and the color orange.

Hunter made an orange tissue paper flower to add to our collection of sun catchers.

We made some simple rocket ships that practiced shapes.

We made some fun aliens.

They turned out cute. (See the full post here.)

My favorite project of all of our space activities was this one. I love how it turned out!! See the full post here and see how great these turned out.

And of course, we made a Mother’s Day craft 🙂

Stop by 1+1+1=1 to see what the other tots were up to this week.

Solar System Craft

Filed in Coffee Filters, School Age Activites, Space, Toddler and Preschool Activities

I think this is my favorite of all of our space themed crafts that we did. I love how these turned out!!

You’ll need: black construction paper, coffee filter, markers, scissors, white paint, glitter glue, regular glue, star stickers, 2 spray bottles

We did the first step outside so it wouldn’t make a big mess inside. Put a small amount of white paint in one of the spray bottles and mix it with water. Then spray it on your black construction paper. This gives that galaxy look.

While that is drying, color the coffee filters with washable markers.

Then spray the coffee filters with water so that the marker spreads. When the coffee filters are dry (and it doesn’t take very long), cut out some circles to make planets. We also used the Earth we made for Earth Day as one of our planets.

Glue the planets onto the construction paper.
