Last week we visited a tiny paleontology museum on a university campus. It was the perfect size for my little children who don't have a huge attention span.
I was particularly amazed by the triceratops 9 foot long skull that was on display. I had always imagined triceratops to be smaller for some reason. This picture does not do the size justice! The brow horns would have been 3 feet long! (See the description below)
To try to bring in the learning that we've been doing at home I made sure to ask Olivia questions like: "Do you think that dinosaurs are vertebrates or invertebrates?" "And are dinosaurs mammals, reptiles, or amphibians?" "How about the flying dinosaurs, were they reptiles too or birds?" She did very well at answering and as a little confused by the flying dinosaur but naturally any 4 year old would be.
