My son Riley has this wonderful fascination with dinosaurs, like most boys do at one time or another. He stomps and roars around the house all the while claiming to be a "big dinosaur" but "NOT a mean one!" So in celebration of this interest I decided we should make a dinosaur sensory table aka (according to Riley) "Dinosaur Place". Not only was it fun playing in "Dinosaur Place", but we had a blast putting it all together.First we started with an empty 32 quart container. Then we walked around our yard and gathered stuff to put in our Dino land; sticks, rocks and "trees". I brought out a small plastic bowl to be our pond and we collected Riley's dinosaurs. Finally we got our shovels and since we have a garden plot that we aren't using this year, we borrowed some dirt.
We put in the dirt in the container, picked the perfect place for the pond and filled it up with some water. Then we added our sticks, rocks and "trees" and put our dinos in place. LET THE FUN BEGIN!
Riley had a blast! He stomped and roared. The dinos ate, took a nap, and had a bath. Then naturally the pond became more of a mud pit after all the dinos were squeaky clean so the fun shifted from dinos to MUD!
For the next couple of days we will have our very own Jurassic Park and then we'll start over and make something new to learn and explore with.
