I loved seeing these ideas. I am a preschool teacher and now a home daycare preschool provider and I’ve done a dinosaur theme many times butove seeing some new ideas I’m so making the foot prints and the dino jumping game and probably a few more. Thanks for fresh ideas and sharing them
Thank you! I need to put more weekly units together. Knowing that someone uses them lights a little fire under me…:-) we’ve had sick kiddos for the last few weeks so not much is getting done!
