Small World Cretaceous Play

August 2016, Preschool Year, age 4

small world play parasaurolophus

HB enjoyed setting up dinosaur scenes and then playing with them. Today HB set up Cretaceous period scenes, thinking about the type of environment each dinosaur lived in and what they ate.

t-rex v triceratops t-rex v triceratops

HB had learnt that Triceratops probably lived in herds and may have surrounded their young during attack. HB also learned that there is fossil evidence that T-rex and Triceratops not only lived in the same area at the same time, but also fought each other. This fueled lots of play.

Another scene was inspired by things HB had learned about the aquatic environment Spinosaurus lived in.
