Fine Motor Fun - Dinosaur Footprints

Use your dinosaur toys to make footprints - this works really well in playdough (we always have a pack of playdough like this one at home). You can also dip them in paint and make painted footprints!

Kinetic Sand works well too! You can buy kinetic sand HERE.

Sensory Play - Dinosaur Wash!

I promised we'd clean up the dinosaurs. This one is easy - get a container of soapy water and wash them! If it's a nice day I like to set this up outside with a towel next to them so they can dry. This activity also works well after our Muddy Sensory Bin for tomorrrow's activity.
