When I was little, dinosaurs were everything to me. I remember seeing a Time Life Books Info-mercial about a dinosaur book and asking ( pleading is more like it) my mom if I could get it for my birthday. I was 10 yrs old and that book took me places I never dreamed. I had hopes that someday I would be a budding paleontologist. I would be destined to blaze a path to the Mongolian tundra or the deserts of Niger, Africa. I would discover a new species of dinosaur and I would have the honor of naming it. Well, a library suits me now a days...where I can peruse over countless NF dino books to my hearts content. I just HAD to do a dinosaur storytime. We had a RoArInG good time!

FINGERPLAYS/ FLANNELS/FUN SONGS:
Dinosaurs
Spread you arms, way out wide
Fly like a Pterendon, soar and glide
Bend to the floor, head down low
Move like a Stegasarous long ago
Reach up tall, try to be
As tall as Apatasaurus eating on a tree
Using your claws, grumble and growl
Just like a Tyrannasaurus on the prowl.
Dinosaur, dinosaur turn around (Teddy Bear Teddy Bear turn around
)
Dinosaur dinosaur turn around
Dinosaur dinosaur touch the ground
Dinosaur dinosaur reach up high
Dinosaur dinosaur wink one eye
Dinosaur dinosaur touch your nose
Dinosaur dinosaur touch your toes
Dinosaur dinosaur slap your knees
Dinosaur dinosaur sit down please

FLANNEL STORY-
Dini the Dinosaur by Karen Beaumont
I Love the story "Dini the Dinosaur" by Karen Beaumont. This story is great because the kids can be a great help in telling the story. Poor Dini
gets covered after an afternoon of playing in the backyard. But when it's time for a tub, he forgets to take
off those muddy clothes before hopping into the bathtub....and again, and again and again!!!! Oh no...back in the tub
you go....with a scrub a dub a rub!!! Rolicking rhymes helps set the tone of this story. I just might have to make a bed for Dini complete with pillow and blanket because that is how the story ends. Sweet story. Kiddo's agreed !
