This month’s theme is: Dinosaurs 🦖
Learning about dinosaurs provides an engaging way for young children to develop knowledge and skills across several areas of learning. Children can explore the past by discussing what dinosaurs were, where they lived, and how we know about them through fossils.
Children can develop communication and language skills by asking questions, sharing ideas, and learning new vocabulary such as “fossil”, “extinct”, and “prehistoric”. Through counting, sorting, and comparing different dinosaurs, children can strengthen early mathematical understanding.
Creative activities such as drawing and role-play can encourage imagination and self-expression. Dinosaur-themed investigations also promote curiosity, observation, and problem-solving skills – helping children to develop an understanding of the world while fostering a love of learning.
During these sessions, children can:
- Dress up as a dinosaur and give us your loudest RAWR!
- Match the right skeletons together in a dinosaur card game
- Have a play with small world dinosaurs in our tuff tray
- Design your own dinosaur hatching egg to take home with you
- Use your finger to unearth the fossils in the dinosaur sensory bag
Whatever age or stage your early learners are at, there will be lots of engaging activities for them to be curious, to be playful and to have fun!
