Ages 4-8: How to Draw, Mazes, Word Search, Dot-to-Dot, Sudoku, Spot the Difference and More Dino Fun
Paperback, US $9.99 / UK £7.99
I made this book the way I teach in my art classes, with real learning on one page and play on the next. My Big Dinosaur Activity Book for Kids is a dinosaur activity book for kids ages 4 to 8, with 50 activities on 60 big pages.
Kids meet the T-rex, triceratops, stegosaurus, brachiosaurus and their friends, drawn the way scientists think they really looked. They learn true facts, laugh at dino jokes, solve puzzles and draw dinosaurs step by step.
