A Roarin' Good Time

 

 What You'll Need:

 (in our case, an awesome zoo:

Brookfield Zoo Hamil Family Play Zoo)

Plastic Dino's/creatures

Sticks/Mud/Clay

Bins for mud/water

 

 

 

I love our zoo, for too many reasons to count. But, one area is the sheer fact that we can get down and dirty on someone else's turf! Their smocks, their mud, my fun! This would be such a doable project to bring into your own backyard or classroom.

A large bin of wet clay/mud mixture + A large bin of warm water to place the dried up finalized designs into for future use.

My dino lovers, were able to escape the present and really get into creating a 3D model of what the ancient creature lived in. Their created trees, knocking them over, nests for Raptors to destroy, and drinking pools for their family of triceratops.

This was one cool project!

 

Classroom Connection:

27.B.1 Know how images, sounds and movement convey stories about people, places and times.

 

 

 

 Side Note:

 

And can't forget this cutie,

 eating his fossil finding brush, and tossing his TRex to the ground to do so.

My fossil finder, and eater...this does not surprise me, so yes, I took the picture
