This activity lets your child use all the information he knows about dinosaurs in different way. It also reinforces location terms like: top, bottom, middle, left and right.
Using the characteristics that your child will be familiar with, you will give him clues to figure out which dinosaur goes into a specific box on the grid. You can use directions like: top left, middle, right or you can put a colored shape in each box. Have the necessary dinosaurs available for your child to select for the clues. Making the grid large enough for him to stand in makes it more interactive and your child will enjoy it.
