Todays free lesson plan doesn’t need much of an introduction.
I mean what kid doesn’t love dinosaurs?
Kids love learning about the time before they existed and they are generally even more fascinated by a time before anyone existed.
Dinosaurs are big, loud, wild and fierce. Kind of like a young child. Hhhmmm….Think there’s a connection to be made there?
In today’s portion of the 10 days of Free Preschool Lesson Plans series, I’m sharing a week long unit that explores the world of dinosaurs! If you missed any of the previous freebies be sure to check out that post! I also listed many other bloggers who are also particpating in the series and offering a ton of free goodies!

Books about Dinosaurs for Preschoolers
There are so many cute children’s books about Dinosaurs! I could spend weeks just reading dinosaur themed books! The How do Dinosaurs series of books are also amazing to help discuss social skills and character traits! We have several of them!
Time Flies is an amazing book. It’s great to teach, or remind, young readers the importance of using picture clues. There are no words in the book, only amazing illustrations. I love to use wordless books as a creative activity where we make up the story as we read!
Don’t forget to check out Amazon! I saw some great prices on some of these titles used!

Preschool Dinosaur Crafts
This sweet craft makes yet another cute keepsake! When my oldest was in preschool, they did a ton of hand print crafts and I have kept them to turn into a book. We’ll be doing the same with my youngest.
What a fun little craft! Kids will love using this to role play being dinosaurs!
Add the mask to this and you practically have a whole costume!
This is a fun little craft kids are sure to have a blast with!
This simple craft is a great way to review shapes!
Dinosaur Activities for Preschool
Add some accessories to your playdough and you can have tons of fun making playdough dinosaurs.
This ooey gooey activity is sure to be a favorite! Dinosaurs and slime…can it get more kid friendly?
My kids love to play with sand (outside!). This is a fun sensory play activity that little dino lovers are sure to enjoy!
While they look a little gross, these little clumps of mud mix harden to make cool fossils that kids can crack open to find a dinosaur!
This is a fun fossil activity using sand dough.
