Materials needed: Dinosaurs, Paint, Q-Tips, Paper Plate, Paper.
This was the first project of dinosaur week. Something easy, fun, and uses the toys they already have. It helps to have a variety of dinosaurs so you can talk about the differences between the types of feet.
When I first started this project, I simply had the kids dip their dinosaur's feet in the paint. However, this resulted in mostly paint blobs, making it hard to even tell it was a footprint. We then switched to painting the bottom of their feet with a q-tip. Much better results. After the project, a few of the girls decided to give all the dinosaurs a bath in the sink to clean them up.
