Frozen Dinosaur Play

Frozen dinosaurs

The twins learned about dinosaurs in Reception this term. They absolutely loved the topic and for a while all they wanted to do was play with dinosaurs. they were particularly fascinated with what happened to the dinosaurs and we talked about the Ice Age. I thought it would be fun to freeze some dinosaurs for them to excavate.
