Dinosaur Small World

Another small world we've recently set up is a dinosaur-themed one. Again, we set this up in a tuff tray.

Materials/objects we used:
- playdough in Earthy tones
- tissue paper in various green/Earthy tones
- blue tissue paper covered with cling film for lakes, rivers, waterfalls etc
- a range of bowls for creating hills/mountains/volcanoes
- a range of different trees from a model railway set
- Lego plants and trees
- Schleich dinosaurs
- rocks, stones and twigs
- our dinosaur fossils we made. You can find instructions here: http://mummycollingwood.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/salt-dough-dinosaur-fossils.html.



Tommy loved using his dinosaurs to make prints in the playdough. Again, this small world was a big hit - it was played with for a few days in a row and he begged us not to tidy it away! I'd love to hear your ideas for small world play.
