Read some dinosaur books and explore some dinosaur ideas with your toddler.

Before you read a dinosaur book you can look through the pictures and ask them to show you a dinosaur they like.

As you read ask questions like, “Would you like to play with a dinosaur?”

After you read ask more questions; “Which of your toys would you share with the dinosaur?”

Songs & Nursery Rhymes

Dinosaurs Walked on This Earth
(Tune of: Mary Had a Little Lamb)

Dinosaurs walked on this Earth,
On this Earth, on this Earth.
Dinosaurs walked on this Earth,
A long, long time ago.

Tyrannosaurus Rex was the king,
Was the king, was the king.
Tyrannosaurus Rex was the king,
A long, long time ago.

Dinosaurs
Dinosaurs lived long ago.
Some walked (stomp in place)
Some swam (pretend
to swim)
Some flew, you know! (flap arms at sides)

Some were big (hold hands high)
Some were small (hold hands low)
Some were gigantic (stretch arms out wide)
V-e-r-y tall! (stretch arms up high)

Dinosaur, Dinosaur
Dinosaur, dinosaur Where can you be?
Hiding behind me (hands behind back)
Where you cannot see!

Now you see one (bring one hand out)
It's been waiting for you.

Here comes another (bring out other hand) And now you see two!

Five Enormous Dinosaurs
Five enormous dinosaurs, letting out a roar,
One went away and then there were four.

Four enormous dinosaurs,
munching on a tree,
One went away and
then there were three.

Three enormous dinosaurs
didn't know what to do,
One went away and
then there were two.

Two enormous dinosaurs having lots of fun,
One went away and then there was one.

One enormous dinosaur afraid to be a hero,
He (she) went away and then there were zero.

Stomp, Stomp, Stomp
The first big dinosaur went stomp, stomp, stomp,
I said to the first dinosaur, “Stop, stop, stop!”

The second big dinosaur went run, run, run,
I said to the second dinosaur, “Fun, fun, fun!”

The third big dinosaur went thump, thump, thump,
I said to the third dinosaur, “Jump, jump, jump!”

The fourth big dinosaur went whack, whack, whack,
I said to the fourth dinosaur, “You stay back!”
The fifth big dinosaur went creep, creep, creep,
I said to the fifth dinosaur, “It’s time to sleep.”
