D is for Dinosaur: ABC Book Craft & Dino Math Activities

ABC Book Craft - Dinosaur D

Our lil dinosaur was inspired by a notepad I bought at our local teacher store.

I knew we were going to make a dinosaur but once my lil diva saw the notepad 

she wanted her dinosaur to look like him - so that is what we tried to recreate. 

What You Need:

Letter D cut-out (card stock)

foam cut-outs of feet, tail, neck & head

(optional) small triangle cut-outs

wiggly eye

black permanent marker

construction paper (for background)

What To Do:

1. Color Letter D

2. Glue D onto background paper (as shown below)

3. Add legs, neck, head and tail

4. add triangle shaped spikes to body (letter D)

5. small spikes to head

6. add wiggly eye and draw nose & mouth

Now you have your Dinosaur Letter D to add to your ABC Book

We have been doing some fun dino themed learning activities.

I found a fabulous Preschool Dinosaur Pack from Two Teaching Mommies

& have been using lots of different activities from it. 

Alphabet Letter Match -

This is great letter recognition practice. 

The Lil Divas had to match upper and lower case letters from egg to dinosaur.

Dino Math Fun:

The 4yr old Diva worked on Dinosaur Clip Cards from the Dinosaur pack.

She had to count the dinosaurs and place the clip on the correct number.

Great counting, number identification and dexterity practice.

My 5yr old did some simple addition practice.

She rolled a dice and used little dinosaur toys to help her add.

I also had her practice writing out the number sentences for each problem.
