Dinosaur Experience

We are currently experiencing a Year of Adventures in our homeschool. A year jammed packed full of different experiences - surrealism, museums, nature hikes, etc... Why are we doing this? Well, for the last few years, things here have been put on hold. We weren't sure where we were going to live or what we would be doing and we had to be ready to move at a short notice. But all of that changed and we are now positive we are staying in the US. So this is the year for many adventures:)

All of a sudden, my boys are into dinosaurs. Dinosaurs. We were able to see a small exhibit at the zoo  with animatronic dinosaurs, which I thought scared them. But after that, they have been playing dinosaurs. So, it was cool when this experience came available through my homeschool group. It wasn't very pricey. For years, we have passed by Dinosaur World when traveling and we have never had the chance to visit the park. This was our chance:)

The dinosaur statues were life size and the kids loved them. We learned so much about each one and had fun doing it. We even met a real paleontologist!

They even got to do a fossil dig which they were able to keep three of their favorite fossils to take home. I believe this was the highlight for my older kids.

Then, when we came home, I had some dino digs for the kids. They shaved away the stone to find dinosaur bones. I fond a kit on sale at Big Lots. I also found some great dinosaurs for my tot to play with at The Dollar Store.

Then, they built a dinosaur museum with the little dinosaurs and fossils they found. I love homeschooling:) They played dinosaurs the rest of the day. It was a great adventure.
