Last week, my son and I spent the day at the museum. He loved the dinosaurs the best.
{At the museum}
I enjoy using things we do together as inspiration for facilitating play, and so we created a Dinosaur Play Scene. Come and see Dinosaur Island.
Materials
Under-bed storage plastic container (or other plastic container)
Sticks, bark and rocks
Log
Dinosaur figurines
Food colouring
Set up
1. I placed a log inside the container, with a few sticks, bark and rocks. My son filled the container with water & I added a few drops of blue food colouring (it’s very diluted so doesn’t stain hands or clothes).
2. Add dinosaur figurines and that’s it.

When did you go to the Queensland Museum? We may have crossed paths on the same day! Did you see a family of five with tornado twins? That may have been slightly stressed us
