Song

I'm a Mean Old Dinosaur

(Sung to: I'm a Little Teapot)

I'm a mean old dinosaur,

Big and tall.

Here is my tail.

Here is my claw.

When I get all hungry,

I just growl.

Look out kids...

I'm on the prowl!

Craft

Pasta Fossil Dinosaurs

Provide dry pasta for the children to paste onto black construction paper to create dinosaurs.  I found white chalk was useful for the parents to sketch dinosaurs for the littlest ones to fill in with pasta.
