Everything started with a Flubber invasion……and the extermination of those poor little dinosaurs on the table. Then, it happened: The Dino mania!!!

Ok, this sounds crazy!

A few weeks ago, Pinky had a flubber activity at her Preschool. I was in shock when a saw that pink stuff on the table. Yes, it was my first time, too seeing that thing. Her teacher, very kindly, gave me the recipe that same day and a week later we were making our own Flubber. Playing, squishing, cutting, laughing and been two kids (hey, it was fun!!!), we starting to pretend that there was a Flubber explosion, so we were needing some volunteers for the job (aka Dinoes).

After that amazing day, Pinky got more into Dinosaurs and here’s what we did in our Spring week vacation:

Dinosaurs are really fun!!!

As you can see, there are plenty of hands downs activities to do with them and the best part is that I didn’t have to print, cut and laminate anything!

It looks a lot but I didn’t have to plan to much since one activity led to the other one. Don’t you like when this happens?
