So, many kids are dino-crazy and want to study them, but a lot of homeschooling parents don't know where to start. Or after you've whetted a child's appetite by watching Walking with Dinosaurs or some simple dinosaur reader books, where do you go from there? Last night I met with a few other homeschooling moms to share ideas, run down the basics on dinosaurs to get your feet wet, and give some ideas on books and resources and activities that may help extend and enrich a dinosaur study. Most of our ideas focused on the elementary years but many are applicable to much older students as well. I previously posted about some of these resources, but I've expanded the list and added an assortment of themes or "pegs" to help organize your thoughts and activities about dinosaurs. You can find the outline of what we discussed and a list of resources as a pdf document free to browse or download at the link below.

Drop me a line if you have any questions or would like to discuss ideas. Enjoy!
