It’s a week full of prehistoric activities! In this week of Camp Fun, we’ll go digging for dinosaurs and make our own dinosaur terrariums. We’ll pretend play with colorful dinosaurs and share dinosaur craft ideas for kids including making your own dinosaur suncatchers and giant weaving mats.
You can never have too many coloring pages to keep campers busy during Camp Fun! Be sure to download our Free Dinosaur Coloring Page here and set it out with colored pencils, crayons, or markers for a quiet indoor activity.

These dinosaur skeleton excavation kits come with an “earthen block”, small digging tool, and dusting brush so campers have a chance to pretend to be a paleontologist for the day while digging up a small dinosaur skeleton.
These colorful dinosaur figurines are perfect for imaginative play – we even stuck some in one of our planters outside to pretend like the dinosaurs were in a prehistoric forest!
